I love to use this sauce with green leafy salads, roasted or grilled veggies, pasta salad, quinoa salads, overtop hummus or paired with vegan sour cream. It is also a fun addition to wraps and soups. Warm toasty bread dipped it in is heavenly!
You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for some heat or a drop of maple syrup for a little sweetness.
Try adding in some fresh mint too!
