Low FODMAP Creamy Peanut-Lime Dressing

This dressing is rich, tangy, and deeply savory — the kind of sauce that makes a simple noodle bowl or salad feel like something you'd order at a restaurant. Natural peanut butter forms the creamy backbone, while fresh lime juice cuts through the richness with just the right amount of brightness. Tamari steps in as the soy sauce alternative here, keeping things gut-friendly without sacrificing that umami depth, and a touch of maple syrup rounds everything out beautifully. Toasted sesame oil and freshly grated ginger add layers of warmth that make this dressing taste far more complex than a four-step recipe has any right to be. One of the trickiest parts of eating with a sensitive gut is finding condiments and dressings that don't sneak in high-FODMAP ingredients like garlic or onion — this one skips them entirely without feeling like anything is missing. A splash of warm water lets you dial in the consistency, whether you want something thick enough to cling to shredded cabbage or thin enough to drizzle over a grain bowl. It makes six servings, so whisk up a jar at the start of the week and you'll have a go-to sauce ready for whatever lands on your plate.
