Asian Almond Sauce

/

Every time I make this Asian-style sauce, I can practically drink it!.

This recipe was originally used as mock-peanut sauce for fresh spring rolls. The version below has more liquid so it can be used as a thick dressing over a slaw, and it still works well as a dip for veggies or spring rolls. 

Asian Almond Sauce

  • 1/2 cup hot water 
  • 2 dates, chopped 
  • 1/2 cup almond butter, smooth 
  • 3 teaspoons coconut aminos
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed 
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated 
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt 
  • juice from 1 lime
  1. Heat 1/2 cup water. Place in a small bowl with the dates to soften. Let soak 5 minutes. 
  2. Add the dates plus the soaking water into a blender. 
  3. Then, add the almond butter and the remaining ingredients. 
  4. Blend until smooth. 
  5. Drizzle over a slaw, or use as a dipping sauce for fresh spring rolls.
