Ingredients

• 1 cup almonds
• 1 cup water
• 0.25 cup nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 0.25 cup extra virgin olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the almonds in a bowl and cover them with water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight to soften.

Step 2

Drain the soaked almonds and rinse under cold water. Transfer them to a high-speed blender.

Step 3

Add 1 cup of fresh water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, tamari, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and cayenne pepper to the blender.

Step 4

Blend on high speed until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, which should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.

Step 5

While the blender is running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. This will help emulsify the sauce and give it a creamy texture.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or cayenne pepper to suit your preference.

Step 7

Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. This resting time allows flavors to meld and deepen.

Step 8

Serve the sauce as a dip for vegetables, a spread for sandwiches, or a dressing for salads. Enjoy your homemade sugar-free Bitchin' Sauce!
