Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for an even lower sodium option)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (unsalted)
• 1.5 tablespoons Pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted)
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted peanut butter (optional, for a creamier dressing)
• 1 clove Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
• 2 tablespoons Water (to adjust consistency, if needed)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine the low-sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos), fresh lime juice, and rice vinegar.

Step 2

Add the pure maple syrup and toasted sesame oil, stirring well to blend the liquids together.

Step 3

If using, whisk in the unsalted peanut butter until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 4

Mix in the minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes, if desired, for added heat.

Step 5

Adjust the consistency of the dressing by stirring in 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, as needed, until your preferred thickness is achieved.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and, if needed, adjust with additional lime juice or a touch more maple syrup based on your preferred balance of acidity and sweetness.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Serve drizzled over salads, as a marinade for proteins, or as a dipping sauce for spring rolls and vegetables. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
