Delicious Peanut Satay Sauce (made with Peanut Butter Powder!)
This is one of my absolute favourite sauces and it tastes divine on a salad or as a marinade for meat. Once you try this delicious peanut butter powder satay sauce, you’ll want to make it every single week! It’s also super easy to make!
This peanut butter powder satay sauce has a rich, nutty taste with the perfect blend of oil, vinegar and hint of fresh ginger. My favourite use for this delicious sauce is on this Thai Peanut Noodle Bowl for lunch!
Why use peanut butter powder instead of peanut butter?
This satay sauce uses a powdered peanut butter instead of traditional peanut butter. I like the PB&Me brand, especially this organic variety. What’s the benefit? It has about 87% less fat that regular peanut butter and it’s about 1/3 of the calories. However, peanut butter powder still has 6g of protein per 12g serving.1

All you’ll need for this delicious peanut sauce is:
- powdered peanut butter (this one is my favourite)

Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, minced ginger root and salt, and shake again until everything is combined.
Hint: Let this dressing sit in the fridge for at least 8 hours in the closed mason jar so that all the flavours meld together.

Make a double or a triple batch to enjoy on multiple dishes throughout the week!
