Quick and easy creamy garlic sauce that is perfect for burgers, salads, wraps, fritters, or grilled veggies. You do need to be prepared a little ahead of time to soak the nuts. This recipe can be adapted to make different flavours each time using fresh in-season herbs and veggies. The beautiful lilac colour is made naturally from the cabbage leaves and stands out against a green salad. Alternatively, swap out the cabbage for herbs and make a creamy green sauce!
