This smooth and flavorful peanut sauce comes together in minutes with just a few pantry staples. It’s creamy, slightly sweet, tangy, and perfect as a dip, drizzle, or salad dressing.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 6 1x

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sauce:
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 to 1/2 cup filtered water (to adjust consistency)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  • Add the peanut butter to a bowl.
  • Slowly whisk in the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, and sesame oil.
  • Gradually add water, a little at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency (thicker for dipping, thinner for dressing).
  • Whisk until completely smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness, saltiness, or tanginess if needed.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Stir before using if it thickens.
