smoky creamy almond sauce recipe

Serve this sauce with brown rice, black beans, avocado, and tomatoes for a complete meal.

This deliciously creamy sauce can be used as a dip. Smoky and rich, it’s dairy-free and provides healthy nutrition from the almonds.

A while back I wrote a post about a local company called Bitchin Sauce. After trying it I’ve been wanting to see if I could come up with a similar recipe for my readers who don’t have access to this creamy vegan and gluten-free sauce. I think Ryan, the original creator, will be proud of my inspired-by version.

Suitable for:
vegan, gluten-free, reduced-sugar diets

Not for:
low-sodium or migraine diets

Even if you love garlic, don't use more than one clove, as it will overpower the sauce. Start with a small amount of Bragg's/tamari and lemon juice, blending and tasting until you get the sauce to your liking.
