What each ingredient does

Peanut butter

Provides the main flavor and body, thickening the dressing with its fat and solids.

Sour cream

Adds creaminess and a tangy moisture that loosens the peanut butter into a pourable dressing.

Lemon juice

Adds acidity that brightens the rich peanut flavor and balances the dressing.

Mustard

Adds a sharp, pungent note that deepens the flavor and helps emulsify the dressing.
