Sunflower Butter Dipping Sauce

By Cheryl Tallman and Joan Ahlers

This is a terrific Asian inspired dipping sauce that is perfect to serve with fresh or grilled veggies, grilled meats or tofu… or just toss a few tablespoons with cooked ramen noodles for a simple side dish.

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 Tbsp sesame oil

1/4 cup minced onion

1/2 tsp fish sauce or soy sauce

1/4 cup water

1/2 cup sunflower butter

1/2 cup coconut milk

1/4 tsp salt

Dash of red pepper flakes

Place ingredients in a bowl and blend together until smooth. Refrigerate. Sauce will thicken in the refrigerator. Serve cold or at room temperature.
