This Asian-influenced dip has a familiar peanut butter flavor for kids but packs a slight garlic and ginger punch that the adults in your group will appreciate. Tip: It's also great served over warm noodles.

Ingredients

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves garlic

• 1-inch cube peeled ginger
• 1/2 cup roughly chopped cilantro (or less to taste)
• 1/4 cup hot water

Instructions

1. Combine everything but the water in a food processor.

2. Pulse until smooth, about 20 seconds, while gradually adding the hot water.

3. Stir with a spatula to make sure all the ingredients are mixed well (the soy sauce and vinegar can settle on the bottom). Serve with broccoli, green beans, red pepper, or crostini. Makes 2 cups.
