1 c. crunchy natural-style peanut butter
3/4 c. water
2 T. fresh lemon juice
1 t. soy sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 t. minced fresh ginger
Dash of cayenne pepper
Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
Combine all ingredients except garnishing herbs in a large bowl and stir with a fork until blended. If mixture is too thick, add 1/4 c. water, or enough to make a good dipping consistency.
Scrape the dip into a serving bowl, cover, and let sit at room temperature at least 30 minutes before serving. If you must chill it, bring it back to room temperature before serving. Thin with a little water as needed. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
Will keep in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Delicious with raw vegetables, or as a sauce for steamed or sauteed mixed vegetables. Can also stuff vegetables into a pita bread half and pour sauce over them.
Makes 2 c.
