Herbed White Sauce

Dairy Free Herb White Sauce

First, let me just say this Herb White Sauce is technically green- yes, I know. The photo is not discolored. It’s from the delicate fresh herbs I blend into the sauce- it’s worth it.

This recipe is a spin off of a white sauce recipe I came across on Bon Appetite recently- but it was made with heavy dairy cream; I wanted to see if it would adapt to a diary free sauce. Spoiler alert- it did!

I used this as a sauce on pizza’s and for a pasta sauce along with just dipping some crudite into it- delicious. The coconut essence is mostly masked by the herbs, which I doubled, but I imagine you could use a cashew cream or other diary free option here as well. I’ll likely try that next.

It’s about as simple as a sauce gets- toss some milk and herbs in a blender and blend; and don’t be surprised when your white sauce turns greens. If you try this, let me know how it worked out for you and be sure to tag @happyeatshealthy on IG or FB!
Happy eating,
