Try this Creamy Thai Peanut Sauce on wraps, salads and veggies

This delicious nutty sauce has several uses.

It’s a great accompaniment to my Spicy Thai Lettuce Wraps and it can be used as a dressing. Toss it in your favorite crispy salad greens or cabbage and other fresh veggies for an Asian-inspired salad. Top the salad with crushed peanuts for a delicious added crunch.

2 cloves minced garlic

1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1/3 cup creamy peanut butter

¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

2 tablespoons agave nectar

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

½ teaspoon kosher salt

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

¼ cup vegetable oil

1. Combine all of the ingredients except the sesame and vegetable oils in the bowl of a food processor or blender.
2. Turn on the processor, and slowly pour in the sesame and vegetable oils until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
3. Pour the dressing into an airtight container and chill until ready to serve. Serve the Creamy Thai Peanut Sauce alongside the spicy lettuce wraps, or toss with your favorite salad greens.
