Trader Joe’s THAI STYLE PEANUT DRESSING

Trader Joe’s Thai Style Peanut Dressing

I really like this. Sold in the refrigerated section (salads). Sure this a “salad dressing” but it is also more than that. So useful. Trader Joe’s has this to say about it: “When is a salad dressing more than a salad dressing? How about when it’s also a great dip, condiment, marinade, sauce…”

It is all those.

It is of course peanut-y and a typical Asian style mix of sweet and savory. We tried it as a salad dressing. Very yummy. After we poured some over mixed lettuce and arugula my wife said “I think this would also be great on noodles“… Yes! Toss some into your noodles. Or grilled chicken (use for a marinade and a glaze). Or Salmon. Or Shrimp. Or Baked Tofu. Or an omelet. A dipping sauce for dumplings. Cole slaw. Grilled vegetables…. you name it.

It is a bit sweet from agave syrup and of course very peanuty. Has the tiniest amount of spice listed as the last ingredient but I can’t really detect any “spicy” here. If you want that, just add your favorite spicy stuff. You can even top with some crushed peanuts (this is smooth) for added texture.

I really like this! You will find it good on or with so many things. The cousin of this, also very good is TJ’s TOASTED SESAME DRESSING.
