Ingredients

▢ ½ cup creamy natural peanut butter
▢ 3 tablespoons sweet red chili sauce
▢ 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
▢ 1 tablespoon soy sauce
▢ 1 tablespoon honey
▢ ⅛ cup hot water plus more as needed (optional)
▢ dry roasted unsalted peanuts chopped (optional)

Instructions

Measure the peanut butter, sweet red chili sauce, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and honey out into a small glass bowl. Whisk together until blended smoothly.
Thin with hot water to desired consistency — less water for a thicker dip, more water for a thinner dressing. Optional but recommended: garnish with chopped unsalted roasted peanuts.

Recipe Notes

Storage: Peanut butter sauce can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Ideas: Meal prep this peanut sauce early in the week to form the base for this totally delish peanut butter chicken recipe. Double the sauce if you want to serve these fun veggie cups with it on the side! Blackberries, carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas would be perfect in them.
