Peanut Free “Peanut Sauce”

I like to dip things.  And this sauce is a great alternative to peanut sauce for salads, veggie rolls, pot stickers and other items you might be looking into making around the house.

1/2 cup raw almond butter

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or agave nectar

2 teaspoons tamari

1/2 teaspoon crushed garlic (approximately one clove)

1/4 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Dash of sea salt or kosher salt (no iodine)
