Creamy Sunflower Seed Butter Dipping Sauce
This creamy sunflower seed butter dipping sauce will quickly become a new favorite! It is a flavorful, versatile, modern take on Thai peanut sauce with no added sugar and lower sodium. And, since it is made with seed butter, those with peanut or tree-nut allergies should be able to enjoy it. For variety, try a different seed or nut butter in place of the sunflower seed butter.
Uses:
- as an accompaniment for fresh spring rolls or summer rolls
- drizzle it over an Asian-inspired bowl, tacos or taco bowl
- use as a dip for skewers or satay, veggies or fresh fruit
- toss it with hot-cooked noodles, vegetables, tofu, chicken or pork
- use as a dressing for a cold veggie, noodle or grain salad
- … the possibilities are endless
NOTE: Using fresh, raw garlic gives a more pronounced garlic flavor; using dried garlic powder softens the garlic flavor.
