Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Date paste (unsweetened, Whole30 compliant)
- 0.25 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Yellow mustard (Whole30 compliant, no added sugars)
- 2 tablespoons Freshly squeezed orange juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika

Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the date paste, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, yellow mustard, orange juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, water, and sea salt.
Step 2
Whisk the mixture over medium heat until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 4
Let the sauce cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until it thickens slightly and the flavors meld together.
Step 5
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding a pinch more salt or a splash of vinegar for extra tanginess if desired.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly before using.
Step 7
Serve immediately as a glaze, dip, or drizzle, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
