My Favorite Dipping Sauce

Serves 1

It’s sweet and spicy at the same time, and it works well on both veggies and fruit. It’s easy to make and also tastes great. Try it as a dip for a snack or as a sauce for a wrap.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons raw almond butter
  • ½ tablespoon agave nectar
  • ½ small lime, juiced
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Preparation

Mix all ingredients, adjusting measurements to suit your personal tastes. No special equipment is necessary. Enjoy it as a dip for veggies or fruit. I prefer it on carrots, sugar snap peas and apples.

The sauce also tastes great on a collard green wrap filled with greens, avocado slices, shredded carrot, sliced portabello mushrooms and broccoli sprouts.

Recipe can be made in much larger quantities to feed a crowd.

I’ve been snacking on this all week with celery. Quite addictive and incredibly easy to make – thanks!

I just had this on salad as a dressing. It was pretty good but I still prefer it as a dip. Thanks so much for this recipe!

Ahh this is amazing. However, I use raw peanuts to make my own butter and then add in the rest… I eat it with everything.

This is excellent. I logged in just to rate it. I suspect it’s even better with peanut butter. Lils, do you have a good raw recipe for peanut butter?

This is soooo good! I used honey instead of agave nectar and I did not have a lime so I used a lemon….I love this…(probably too much!)
