Since we’re entering the season of potlucks and barbecues, it’s time to share my go-to peanut sauce recipe. It’s creamy, savory, a little spicy and totally satisfying. Bonus? This flavorful sauce is easy to make.
Make some peanut sauce and drizzle it on everything! This peanut sauce also makes a stellar veggie dip. Store-bought veggie dips are notoriously full of preservatives, but not this one.

Uses for Peanut Sauce
Veggie dip aside, this peanut sauce is wonderful over noodles and served with spring rolls. You can also drizzle it on steamed or roasted vegetables for some extra protein and tons of flavor. It’s great with mango, too!

Peanut Sauce Tips
I love this sauce the way it’s written below, but feel free to play around with it.
For a more traditional Thai peanut sauce, you can substitute coconut milk for the water. This will mellow the other flavors a bit. For an extra burst of fresh flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice and/or some chopped cilantro. If the sauce too thick for your purposes, simply thin it out with some additional water or coconut milk or lime juice.
