Dairy-Free Green Sauce

This delicious, macro-friendly, dairy-free green sauce is my new favorite! I’m in the middle of figuring out some gut stuff, taking a break from gluten and dairy, and I did NOT want to take a break from my favorite jalapeño avocado dressing. So I made a few changes!

This is perfect for dipping, dunking, and drizzling, on so many of your favorite recipes! It’s easy to make, adds so much flavor to EVERYTHING, and it’s so easy on your macros which means you can go crazy. I don’t like to feel limited in my drizzling.

If you love herbs, and sauces, and tons of flavor while keeping it light, you’re gonna want to make this ahead and have on hand in your fridge. Of course, whipping it up to pair with what you’re cooking is easy enough, but don’t be afraid of making extra! We keep it in the fridge all week. Having amazing, light sauces at the ready is a GAME changer when it comes to macro-friendly meals that DO NOT disappoint.

How to Make Dairy Free-Green Sauce

You’ll Need:

• Avocado
• Jalapeño, seeded
• Garlic (I always use the frozen Dorot cubes– all the fresh flavor, ZERO stinky fingers or work haha.)
• White balsamic vinegar
• Cashew milk
• Lemon juice
• Cilantro
• Parsley
• Kosher salt
• Pinch of red pepper flakes

Simply blend everything in a blender or small food processor until pretty smooth. That’s it! You can add a little more vinegar or cashew milk if it needs some thinning, the macros will hardly change since it’s so light.
