Thai Peanut Dressing

I initially created this recipe as a salad dressing but it has quickly become one of my favorite dressings/marinades/sauces, you name it. This dressing does require a few fresh ingredients but I promise it is worth the extra effort. I make a double, sometimes even a quadruple; batch because it is that good. I have used it as a salad dressing for my favorite Thai Salad, the sauce for stir fry or Asian dishes and as a dip with cut up vegetables. If you double (or quadruple) the recipe you can freeze it and defrost it later for easy weeknight meal prep. This can be made with any nut butter, I have tried it with almond butter and it is equally delicious.
