Trader Joe’s Thai Style Peanut Dressing

I really like this. Sold in the refrigerated section (salads). This a “salad dressing” but it is SO much more than that. So useful.

They say this: “When is a salad dressing more than a salad dressing? How about when it’s also a great dip, condiment, marinade, sauce”

After we poured some over mixed lettuce and arugula my wife said “this would be great on noodles“… Yes! 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 thing. I say not spicy. Just add your favorite zingy stuff if you want spicy. You can even top with some crushed peanuts (this is smooth) for added texture.

I’m going to say it again. I really, really like this! You will find it good on or with so many things. And just as and Asian style Salad Dressing, I love it.
