I really don't think this sauce needs an introduction except to say that it is a lighter version of my favorite sauce. Its the perfect addition to almost anything. I top my falafels, my salmon and even my chicken with this. It will elevate any dish, Add a little hot sauce and yum, yum, yum is all I could say 😋
