Mix up this healthy peanut sesame dressing for a creamy peanut dressing on your favorite salad. This oil-free dressing is incredibly healthy and absolutely packed with flavor.
Making your own dressing is super easy and significantly healthier than using the store-bought dressings that have tons of added oils and preservatives.
I recommend avoiding oil as much as possible, but I can't emphasize enough how important it is to get very refined oils like canola oil, vegetable oil, and soybean oils out of your diet. These oils are highly processed and contain trans-fats (the bad kind). These are not the types of foods you want in your diet.
So, whenever possible, make salad dressing at home!
This peanut sesame dressing is incredibly thick and creamy without any of the oil because it has both peanut butter and tahini. These flavors make an ultra decadent dressing that is packed with flavor!
Step 1. In a medium bowl add the peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, tahini, maple syrup, lime juice, garlic, ginger, and cayenne.
Step 2. Whisk the ingredients. If the dressing is on the thicker side, add water slowly until a creamy sauce forms.
Store covered in the fridge for up to two weeks.
I usually keep mine in a mason jar.
This healthy peanut dressing is loaded with peanut flavor. So it's best on salads with a more Asian flair or basic veggies & greens salads where you want a pop of flavor!
