Healthy Chick-fil-A Sauce
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons low carb sweetener (or alternative. See Recipe Notes for options.)
- 1/2 cup water
- 2/3 cup raw cashews (almonds and hemp seeds are great alternatives)
- 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 5 teaspoons yellow mustard
- 1/8 cup Dijon mustard
- 5 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1-2 pinches turmeric (optional, for color)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients (adding only 1 pinch turmeric, if using) to blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Add more nuts or water to reach desired consistency, if needed, and blend.
- Add more turmeric if desired, and blend.

Notes
Nut or Seed Options: I've made this recipe using both cashews and almonds and both have turned out great. The cashew version is a little creamier, but both are simply delicious.
I haven't tried the hemp version yet but I know it will taste great. It will likely be a little thicker since more hemp fits in a measuring cup (less air space) so I think adding just a little more water will be needed.
Sweetener Options: Really any sweetener can be used for this recipe. Just make sure to use whatever amount is a 1:1 for sugar, otherwise you'll need to adjust for the difference.
Storage: Can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for about a week. Stir leftovers before serving if separated. Freezing not recommended.
