Katy's Thai Dip
Into the blender goes:

1 can coconut milk
2 T siracha
3 T soy sauce
2 T lime juice
2 T grated fresh Ginger
3 T peanut butter

blend it well & your done! store in the frig to thicken - (no mayo to go bad and a warm summer afternoon!)

Chopped cilantro for garnish

serve with cucumbers or carrots, leeks etc for dipping.

I like to add some jalapeno peppers and/or juice too if you like them a bit spicy.

Banana peppers too would be good.
