Use roasted peanuts

Wanted a cold cucumber noodle salad but didn’t have peanut sauce on hand. Found this lovely little recipe and gave it a whirl. Subbed peanut butter and omitted the sugar, added some chili oil at the end for a little more heat. I hope it lasts a little in the fridge, because this made a good sized small ball jar full.
