Ingredients

  • ¾ cup full-fat coconut milk
  • cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
  • 3 tablespoons lime juice
  • ½ tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon fresh garlic finely grated
  • ½ teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and finely grated

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk and peanut butter until smooth.
  • Add the curry paste, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. Whisk until fully incorporated.
  • Adjust heat to taste. For more heat, add additional curry paste a small amount at a time. If the dressing is too spicy, a small drizzle of additional maple syrup or a splash of coconut milk will bring the heat down without significantly changing the flavor. Serve immediately.
