Notes

  • A food processor gives you a coarser texture, similar to the original Bitchin sauce. For a smoother texture, I like to use a blender for this recipe. 
  • Use raw unsalted almonds for this recipe. If you use salted almonds, your recipe will be too salty. 
  • I don’t find it necessary to soak your almonds so they blend smoother. If your blender or food processor is not high-powered and has issues blending, you can soak the almonds in hot water for an hour before blending. You can also soak them overnight in cold/room-temperature water. 
  • If you don’t have apple cider vinegar, you can substitute it with another vinegar. 
  • Instead of olive oil, you can substitute avocado oil or grapeseed oil. The original Bitchin sauce uses grapeseed oil, so if you would like to be closer to the store-bought version you can use that. I just like the flavor from extra virgin olive oil personally. 
  • Taste and adjust any seasonings after blending.
