This tasty vegan dipping sauce also makes a wonderful salad dressing. I often make a double batch so I have enough for upcoming meals like these Asian Wraps which are great for packed lunches.

Delicious & nutritious! Love this sauce with my tofu, veg, rice bowl. As a new vegan, I'm learning that good sauces are the key to making good nutrition delicious. The recipe is very forgiving. I made a mistake with one of the ingredients and it still turned out good. Thank you!

Ellen Anderson

This sauce/dressing is delicious! I've made it with raw peanut butter, tahini, and almond butter. Any of them work well. I have tried so many cashew-based dresses that I ultimately just throw out. I just don't like them. This one is a keeper!!! Thank you! *Try it in stir fry. Yum!

Alesia

I was hoping this would replace the Yum Yum sauce that we make with a cashew base but unfortunately it misses the mark.

Jacqueline Brown

Just made this: it’s DELISH!!!! I didn’t have wasabi but I used horseradish instead.

Kimberly

You can sub grated horseradish root for the wasabi. It’s a whole food—and cheaper too!

I made this yesterday as a topping on our Buddha bowls. It was delicious- creamy and smooth. I also added the zest from the three organic oranges for extra flavor. Though our FOK doctor doesn’t recommend peanut butter the small amount in the large recipe doesn’t seem to be too much.

Helen

Will Almond butter work in place of peanut butter in this recipe?

Tanya

Delicious and easy to make

Karen

Maybe tahini could be substituted for peanut butter.
