Thai Peanut Sauce

This beautiful Thai Peanut Sauce is not only lighter than the store-bought version but is also much more flavorful so it can really make light dishes sing. We have lightened up this sauce in two ways. First, we replaced all of the sugar with 1 tbsp of really good quality honey. And second, we replaced peanut butter with good quality almond butter to lower the fat content. And we’ve amped up the flavor with fresh ginger, tons of fresh lime juice, and spicy Chile-Garlic sauce. This sauce is perfectly balanced in every way and will elevate even the most basic dish.

Below are four dishes suited perfectly for this sauce – Spring Rolls, Street Tacos, Peanut Noodles, and a gorgeous Thai Peanut Salad.
