Bitchin Sauce

It's taken SEVEN YEARS for San Diego's famous farmer's market BITCHIN' SAUCE to arrive in the CLE (Heinen's), since I first tasted it! But, wherever you live, you can make it yourself! It's made with raw almonds, garlic, lemon juice, nutritional yeast & spices. I splurged on a container while in Berkeley, last week, when I needed a FAST FARRO BUDDHA BOWL DINNER for 6, & let me just say, "Bitchin' Sauce makes EVERYTHING TASTE BETTER! It ROCKS!"
