You can instantly decide the needed texture without changing the flavor profile of this plant-based veggie dip. For instance, we make it a little bit runnier when we use it as a dipping sauce on this artichokes' appetizer recipe.

This easy-to-make vegan sauce for vegetables can be used for anything vegan.

It is a vegan alternative for anything that you want to do with a creamy sauce. So, let's just start this saucy vegan journey...

This Basil and Parsley Creamy Sauce is OUR kind of sauce. That kind that I can rest assured that if I have some in the fridge, I can make a lunch or dinner in minutes, or turn any bland-flavored rice or salad into something full of flavor, with a good punch and still delicate.

We also use it as a quick and easy pasta basil sauce instead of the classic pesto sauce when we want something lighter.

This plant-based veggie dip works for any given pasta, Falafels. Sometimes we use Hummus and sometimes this Creamy Sauce. It's magical, and you can thicken it up or thin it to your liking, simply adding or taking some of the dairy-free plant milk, such as almond milk.

This is the sauce we use for our artichokes with dipping sauce; we love it. Makes an excellent vegan side dish.

It also makes a great non-dairy pasta sauce. We love using this sauce for any given pasta and then topping it with our 5-minutes vegan parmesan cheese recipe.

We also love using this vegan dipping sauce to make Vegan Arepas (one of our favorite comfort food). It takes them to the next level!

Last but not least, you can even use the sauce to dip in tortilla chips, or add it on top of veggie burgers, to bring the flavors to the next level!
