Homemade Thai Peanut Dressing
A creamy and savory peanut dressing that makes any salad or grain bowl taste like takeout.
recipesbynani.comThis Thai peanut dressing is a staple in my kitchen because it comes together in just a few minutes. It has the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and tangy flavors that pair beautifully with crisp vegetables or warm noodles.
My favorite tip is to whisk the ingredients together in a glass jar. You can store any leftovers right in the same jar in the fridge for up to a week, which makes meal prep so much easier.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 to 4 tablespoons warm water to thin
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Place the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger into a medium bowl or a clean glass jar.
- 2
Whisk or shake the ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- 3
Add the warm water one tablespoon at a time, whisking or shaking between additions, until you reach your desired dressing consistency.

Taste the dressing and add a splash more soy sauce for saltiness or honey for sweetness if you prefer.
💡 Tips
Drizzle this over a shredded cabbage salad or use it as a dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls. If the dressing thickens too much in the fridge, just stir in a teaspoon of warm water to get it back to a pourable consistency.
