Ingredients

1/2 cup salted creamy peanut butter* ((or almond butter or sunflower butter))
1-2 Tbsp gluten-free tamari ((if not gluten-free sub soy sauce // if soy-free sub coconut aminos*))
1-2 Tbsp maple syrup ((or other sweetener of choice))
1 tsp chili garlic sauce ((or 1 red Thai chili, minced // or 1/4 tsp red pepper flake // adjust to preferred spice level))

Steps:

To a medium mixing bowl add (starting with the amount at the lower end of the measurement range where applicable) peanut butter, tamari (or soy sauce or coconut aminos), maple syrup, lime juice, chili sauce (or chili or red pepper), and whisk to combine. Add water a little at a time until a thick but pourable sauce is achieved.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more maple syrup for sweetness, chili garlic sauce (or red chili or red pepper) for heat, lime juice for acidity, or tamari for saltiness. If your sauce has become too thin, add more nut butter. If it's too thick, thin with more water. For a fun flavor twist, add some fresh grated ginger to taste.
Perfect for salads, spring rolls, noodle dishes, and more! Pairings linked above. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
