Super Speedy Spinach Sauce

Sometimes it’s handy to whip up a raw food sauce, whether it’s for dipping or for coating other ingredients. And here’s one that we love. It takes just a few minutes and it’s really versatile, as well as super-nutritious and tasty.

Ingredients

• About 250g spinach (you could substitute small kale leaves – larger leaves tend to be stringy)
• 1 very small clove fresh garlic
• 1tablespoon miso
• large handful fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon flax oil (optional)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice
• handful of nuts, soaked to remove enzyme inhibitors
  (I usually keep a bowl of fresh nuts in the fridge. For this recipe you could use cashews, walnuts, almonds or hazelnuts)

How To…

1. Tear off any tough spinach stalks. Wash the spinach well.
2. Peel the garlic and chop roughly.
3. put all the ingredients in a high-powered blender and blitz with just enough water, until smooth and either thick for a dip or runnier for a sauce.

Notes:
You could make this into a warm sauce by adding warm water or cooled stock from any veg you’re cooking at the same time.
I tend to pour this over raw or steamed veggies, to turn them into a feast. Plus it’s a great way to get more raw veggies into your kids!
