How do you use Thai Peanut Sauce?

Thai Peanut Dressing is incredibly versatile and can be used in numerous ways. It works wonderfully as a salad dressing—especially for crunchy slaws or noodle salads. You can drizzle it over grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp for added flavor. It also makes a tasty dipping sauce for spring rolls or vegetable platters. For a heartier application, toss it into grain bowls, rice noodles, or wraps. Its rich, balanced taste makes it a powerful companion for both cold and hot dishes.

What is in Thai Peanut Dressing?

Traditional Thai Peanut Dressing includes a combination of smooth peanut butter, lime juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, and seasonings like garlic, red curry paste, and ginger. Our version adds creamy coconut Greek yogurt for added body and a mild tang. The dressing also includes fresh cilantro, dried basil, and a touch of sugar to round out the flavor. All of these ingredients come together in a blender, making it a quick and easy recipe that delivers complex results.

How long does Thai Peanut Sauce last after opening?

When stored properly in an airtight container in the refrigerator, homemade Thai Peanut Dressing will stay fresh for up to 7 days. Since it includes yogurt and fresh herbs, it’s important to keep it cold at all times. If the dressing thickens in the fridge, just stir in a little milk or water before using. Always smell and taste it before reusing after several days to ensure freshness.

What does Thai Peanut Dressing taste like?

Thai Peanut Dressing delivers a rich, multi-layered flavor experience. It’s creamy and nutty from the peanut butter, with bright notes from lime juice and rice vinegar. It has a mild heat from red curry paste and sweet chili sauce, balanced by subtle sweetness and the umami depth of soy sauce. The fresh cilantro and garlic add an herbal-pungent edge that makes the dressing pop. The result is a flavor that’s sweet, spicy, savory, and slightly tangy—all in perfect harmony.
