1 To prepare the dressing, combine the peanut butter, tamari, maple syrup, garlic and optional red pepper flakes (everything but the lime juice) in a liquid measuring cup or small bowl. Use a small whisk or fork to stir until blended.
2 Whisk in about half of the lime juice until creamy, then whisk in the rest. Continue whisking until the mixture is fully blended and nicely creamy.
3 Taste, and if it tastes too tart, add another teaspoon or so of maple syrup. Serve as desired. Leftover dressing will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
