Equipment
- Chopping board.
- Paring knife.
- garlic press
- fine handheld grater
- Tablespoon.
- Bowl.
- Jar with a lid.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon smooth peanut butter.
- 1 tablespoon lime juice.
- 1 clove garlic.
- 1 Inch piece ginger.
- 1 tablespoon coconut aminos.
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup.
- 1 - 4 tablespoon water to thin.
Instructions
- Add the peanut butter to a small bowl. Peel the garlic clove and discard the outer skin. Mince the garlic using the garlic crusher or a knife. Add the minced garlic to the peanut butter.
- Using the back of the spoon, peel the fresh ginger and discard the skin. With the grater, finely grate the ginger until you get 1 tablespoon full. Now add the grated ginger to the bowl.
- With your paring knife, half the lime and juice one half. This should give you about 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Add the lime juice to the minced garlic, ginger and peanut butter. I like to give it all a good stir now before adding anything else.
- Lastly, add the maple syrup, coconut aminos and water to the bowl and then mix together thoroughly. Taste test the dressing and add a little more lime, coconut aminos or maple syrup if needed.
- Pour into your jar for storing. Use within 3 days.
Notes
Once refrigerated this will thicken slightly. In which case you can add 1 teaspoon water and stir to loosen the dressing before using.
The amount of water needed in this recipe depends on how thick your peanut butter is. As it gets toward the bottom of the jar and the nut butter thickens you’ll need to use more water to thin the dressing out.
You may need to use the juice of whole lime if you’re using a small lime. I’m one of those people who really enjoys lime and so there’s never enough as far as I’m concerned. I’m much the same with ginger too. Just adjust the recipe to suit your own taste.
