Spicy Thai-style Peanut Dressing

As I've mentioned before, I like to make my own salad dressing. This is a great one to serve with Asian-themed dinners. You could easily make it into a dipping sauce or sauce for noodles by adding a little more peanut butter to get it to the right consistency.

Ingredients:

• 3 Tbsp. natural peanut butter
• 2 Tbsp. honey
• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar
• 1 Tbsp. lime juice
• 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
• 1 Tbsp. chili oil (optional)

Whisk together the peanut butter and honey until combined (sometimes I heat them in the microwave slightly to soften to the right consistency). Add the other ingredients, one at a time, whisking until all are incorporated. 

The dressing can be refrigerated in a sealed container for several days, but before serving, you will need to allow it to come to room temperature, then whisk thoroughly to recombine.
