Sesame Peanut Butter Sauce for Noodles, Veggies, Salad

This is one of the most versatile sauces I have in my repertoire.

Great for dipping with vegetables, poured with noodles, as a salad dressing, or even as a light spread on bread. You can make it as thick or thin as you like; every family enjoys it differently. My favorite consistency is like a cream sauce: it has a rich creaminess to it but is pourable and easily mixed or dipped.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup nut butter – I use peanut butter
• 1/4 cup hot water – helps soften/thin out the pb
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sesame oil

Directions

Mix till smooth and enjoy!

There is a bit of a technique to it. Use the hot water to help loosen the nut butter. Once it’s thinned out, add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil last. Or throw it all in a blender and not worry about it at all.

All Natural Ingredients

My friend Vanessa makes her own nut butter and just adds these other ingredients as she’s blending her almonds, cashews, and other delicious healthy nuts. She gets bonus points because she knows 100% what is going in to her food! No preservatives, additives, artificial anything.

Gluten Free Version

Substitute Tamari or Coconut Aminos instead of Soy Sauce.

Low Carb Version

The rice vinegar has sugar, as do some peanut butters.

Vegan, Dairy Free

One of the reasons I love this dip is because it’s naturally vegan and dairy free.
