Instructions
  • Blend the Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients except for the water. Blend until the mixture is combined. Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. I like a chunkier texture but you can also blend it a bit longer for a smoother sauce.
  • Serve: Serve this sauce over roasted veggies, toss it with pasta, dollop it on grain bowls, drizzle it over tofu dishes, or use it as a dip with tortilla chips. This sauce is so tasty, you’ll want to use it everywhere!
  • Store and Freeze: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the sauce in small portions (like in an ice cube tray) and thaw as needed.
Notes
Toasting the Walnuts: For a deeper, nuttier flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Let cool before blending.
