Creamy Garlic Everything Sauce
Created for my weekly Fox 2 segment and correlating blog post on vegetables in the allium family, this sauce features raw garlic, shallots and chives! If you are a garlic and onion lover, you'll dig this one!
Ingredients
Setup
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 3 pitted dates
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/4 shallot
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar*
- pinch of salt
- 1/4-1/3 cup water
- chives for garnish
Directions
In a blender, blend the tahini, pitted dates, garlic, shallot, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and 1/4 cup of water. Blend until creamy. Add more water if needed. Garnish with chives.
Allow to chill in fridge for an hour and serve. It will thicken up as it cools down.
Great as a dip, spread or salad dressing (I think it's great drizzled over air fried sweet potatoes!). Thin as needed.
*I use champagne vinegar as a personal preference. Feel free to play around with different flavors - I think a balsamic or even apple cider vinegar would be nice. You could also just add one more tablespoon in lemon juice.
Chef's note: Adding in a few shakes of your favorite seasoning blend could also be nice here. I have made this several times and Trader Joe's 21 Blend is a great addition!
