First of all, drain and rinse the soaked almonds.
In a blender, put the almonds, olive oil, water, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, nutritional yeast, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper.
Mix the ingredients until creamy and smooth. Make sure to scrap the mix from the side of the blender. If the mixture is too thick, you can put a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired level of consistency.
Now, taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning accordingly. You can include more lemon juice, salt and pepper or spices.
If you are using the fresh herbs mix them into the sauce until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the sauce into an air-tight container or in a jar and put it in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. It allows the flavor meld flavor.
It’s time to serve the bitchin sauce. You can try it with tacos, burritos, sandwiches or bowls.
