This Honey & Almond Dipping Sauce is a delightful blend of savory, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors, perfect for enhancing a variety of dishes. Simple and quick to make, it pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, fresh vegetables, or as a unique salad dressing.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Measure out 1 tablespoon of fish sauce and set it aside.
- Squeeze fresh lemons and measure out 3 teaspoons (or use bottled lemon juice if that’s more convenient).
- Measure 1/4 cup of almonds.
- Using a food processor or a high-powered blender, grind the almonds until they are a fine meal. Be careful not to over-process them into a paste.
- Alternatively, if you prefer a chunkier texture, you can chop the almonds by hand or pulse them lightly in the blender.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground almonds, fish sauce, and lemon juice.
- Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined.
4. Adjust Flavorings (Optional):
- Taste the sauce and adjust the quantities of fish sauce or lemon juice according to your preference. If you prefer a more balanced flavor, you might want to add a small amount of honey to enhance the sweetness.
- Optionally, sprinkle in some salt or pepper depending on your taste.
- Pour the Honey & Almond Dipping Sauce into a serving dish.
- This sauce is perfect as a dip for grilled vegetables, fresh spring rolls, or even as a dressing for salads.
- If you have any leftover sauce, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The sauce can be kept for up to a week. Stir well before using again, as separation may occur.
Tips:
- Ensure your almonds are finely chopped or ground to create a smoother dipping sauce consistency.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice will offer a brighter, fresher flavor compared to store-bought lemon juice.
- Adjust the amount of fish sauce to your taste preference if you want a milder or stronger umami flavor.
- For a touch of sweetness, you can add a teaspoon of honey, balancing the tanginess of the lemon.
- Let the sauce sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
