Green Sauce No. 4

This vibrant vegan green sauce is a versatile powerhouse that brings a punch of zesty, umami-rich flavour to any meal.

The addition of ginger and apple cider vinegar provides a sharp, refreshing lift that cuts through richer dishes beautifully.

It is an excellent accompaniment to roasted root vegetables, grain bowls or even as a marinade for grilled tofu. Because it stays fresh in the fridge for several days, it is a brilliant option for weekend meal prep to brighten up your weekday lunches.
