If you’re a peanut lover, this salad dressing is for you!

It’s a delicious salad dressing that gets its creaminess from peanut butter, so it is 100% dairy-free.

Lime juice, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil give it a flavor that is reminiscent of a Thai peanut salad dressing.

We love it poured over crunchy greens or coleslaw, but it is every bit as delicious used as a dip for chicken or tofu.
