Most peanut butter based dressings have Thai influences, but this Asian peanut salad dressing uses popular Japanese ingredients. It boasts mirin, rice vinegar, and sesame oil as lighter, well-rounded, and complementary flavors to the heartier influence of peanut butter. Overall, it’s a delicious savory and lightly sweet blend with delicious depth. You can serve it over greens or rice bowls, or keep it thick and enjoy as a dip with red bell peppers, broccoli, and other any day vegetables.
