Whole Food, Plant-Based Recipe Peanut Sauce

Recipe courtesy of Chef Carole Levy, PPMNY Culinary Educator

This delicious peanut butter dipping sauce is so versatile and would be great over just about anything. We love it over tofu and whole grains or as a dipping sauce for spring rolls like these.

  • ¾ cup smooth peanut butter

  • 1 small shallot or red onion, chopped
  • 2 T of brown rice vinegar
  • 1 T fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2 T shoyu or tamari soy sauce
  • 1-2 medjool dates, pits removed
  • 1 tsp of hot sauce or chili flakes
  • 1 T tomato paste
  • 2 T cilantro, chopped
  • 1 cup water or more

Instructions

1. Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Add additional water for thinning to the consistency you like for dipping.

Chef's Notes

Sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week.
