Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Sunflower seed butter (unsweetened, creamy)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut milk (full-fat or light)
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2 tablespoons Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) or regular soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Maple syrup
• 1 clove Garlic (minced or grated)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, grated)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil (toasted)
• 2 tablespoons Water (to adjust consistency)
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili flakes or Sriracha (optional, for heat)

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine sunflower seed butter, coconut milk, lime juice, tamari (or soy sauce), and rice vinegar.

Step 2

Add maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients into a smooth, creamy dressing.

Step 3

If the dressing is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the desired consistency is reached. It should be pourable but slightly thick.

Step 4

For extra heat, stir in chili flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha, if desired.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed—add more lime juice for brightness, soy sauce for saltiness, or maple syrup for sweetness.

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week. Shake or stir before using as the dressing may separate over time.

Step 7

Enjoy the nut-free Thai dressing over salads, noodles, or as a dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls!
