While the whole low FODMAP thing has been a big learning process and has had some ups and downs, for the most part I feel much better when eating foods that fit the low FODMAP guidelines. I haven’t reintroduced every category yet, but the foods I have introduced unfortunately haven’t gone well.
One of the foods I miss most is veggie dip!! And I mean any kind of veggie dip. I love a delicious hummus, black bean dip, salsa, and even the occasional ranch dip for a special treat 🙂 BUT none of those are low FODMAP approved.
What’s a girl to do when she wants to bring a delicious veggie platter to the party that she can enjoy too?
Make her own of course…
I’m calling this “everything sauce” rather than veggie dip because we have been using it for well…everything!
For all you non-peanut eaters: I’ve also made this recipe with sunflower seed butter. To make the sunflower seed butter, I simply take roasted sunflower seeds from the grocery (salted or unsalted is up to you!), place them in the food processor and let the food processor work it’s magic. I scrape the sides down occasionally 🙂
There you have it friends…my latest obsession!
PS: You don’t have to be low FODMAP in order to enjoy the dip. We enjoyed it on the Fourth of July and it was almost completely consumed and received rave reviews from people who aren’t following a low FODMAP plan!
Enjoy the recipe! Let me know your thoughts on this dip, and what your favorite thing to dip in it is!
This nutty, Thai-inspired sauce puts a unique spin on veggie dip, is perfect for pouring over cooked spaghetti squash or “zoodles”, and is amazing when tossed with shredded cabbage and carrots for a refreshing salad. The options are endless!
Ingredients
Scale
3/4 cup natural peanut butter* (I prefer the creamy kind with only peanuts as the ingredient for this recipe)
1/4 cup low sodium tamari
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup water
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1 Tbsp fresh, finely chopped chives
Instructions
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl with a spoon. Mix thoroughly until everything is combined and add additional water or reduce the amount of water to reach your desired consistency.
Notes
*Sunflower seed butter may be used in place of the peanut butter. I simply place 1 1/2 cups of sunflower seeds in the food processor and process while scraping down the sides until the consistency is similar to peanut butter. Salted or unsalted work fine.

This looks AMAZING! I’ve been trying all sorts of new FODMAP recipes since I downloaded the FODMAP Friendly App on iTunes! It actually gives specific quantities of FODMAPs in foods, so I can really try new things and stay on track! Do you use this app? I cannot wait to try this 🙂
That sounds delicious! That stinks that you can’t enjoy your favorite dips, but great job coming up with a low FODMAP alternative! I love anything Thai inspired so I’m definitely trying this 🙂
Oh I loveee this! Huge fan of thai peanut flavored anything. Sometimes I don’t do well with peanut butter though, so I’ll use half the amount and subbed the other half with almond butter! I think I have all of these ingredients in my pantry now… I will certainly be pinning this to make later this week!

Thank you for this…I am now going to use it for my Gado gado salad!
What is a Gado gado salad!? If it has this dressing, I am sure I will love it!

Thank you, Holly! I do have the app and really love it. I also love that it’s constantly being update! 🙂
I’ve never made peanut sauce at home, but this looks great! Throw it over some noodles and veg – quick, easy dinner! 🙂
I try to stick to a low FODMAP diet and am so excited that this fits the bill! My favorite dip is almond butter? Can that be an answer? Haha
I would also struggle with no hummus. But on the other had I loooove peanut butter.
Cute name for the sauce 🙂
Thanks, Emanuele! At least I can have my beloved PB 🙂
I love all dressings/sauces involving nuts. This sounds delicious and I’m pretty sure I would finish this in a second if I had a jar!
I know…gotta be careful on the portion control! It just tastes so darn good 🙂
I am a huge peanut sauce fan, this looks great!
Isn’t peanut sauce the best!?
This looks delicious and so simple. I think I’m going to make some thai peanut noodles with it tonight! 🙂
YUM! Let me know what you think, Kalee!!
I could put this sauce on anything. Love this recipe, can’t wait to try it myself
It literally tastes amazing on everything…even a spoon! HA!
I’ve never had a sauce like this before because I cannot eat peanuts or nuts but… I do loveeeeeeee hummus! Mmmmm HUMMUS!
Gosh isn’t hummus great!? Can you have seeds? This is great with sunflower seed butter!!

Perfect! I’ve been trying to come up with a good peanut sauce – I think I was missing lime juice. I’m excited to try this recipe!
Lime is the key!! 🙂 I hope you love it!
