Almond and Garlic Dip (Bitchin' Sauce Copycat)

- Time 10"
A creamy and garlicky savory dip made from a combination of almonds, aminos, nutritional yeast, and warming spices. If you're a fan of hummus or the popular store-bought Bitchin' Sauce, then the odds are good that you'll love this too. Available with three flavor variations listed below (the cilantro version is my personal favorite).

Shopping List
-
Classic Version
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon(s) lemon juice
- 1/4 cup grapeseed or avocado oil
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons braggs aminos (or low-sodium tamari or coconut aminos, Note 1)
- 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
- 3/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder Cilantro Version
- 2 handfuls fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/2 jalapeño (optional) Chipotle Version
- 1/2 chipotle pepper, packed in adobo sauce (double for spicier)
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine all of the Classic Version ingredients in a high-powered blender (there is no need to soak the almonds if using a high-powdered blender). Blend until super smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. It will seem quite watery, but will thicken in the refrigerator.
- Step 2: If making the cilantro or chipotle versions, add those ingredients now. Blend again until super smooth.
- Step 3: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate at least one hour to overnight to thicken. If it seems too thick, add in 2 to 3 tablespoons of water until it reaches a thick sauce consistency.
- Serve: Use this as a tasty dip for crackers, hearty salads, or grain bowls. It's delicious in Bitchin' Sauce Macro Bowl.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: If using a fully-salted tamari or soy sauce, I recommend using a little less than the 3 tablespoons called for and adding more in later after you give it a taste test.
