This deliciously creamy white sauce is a total winner when you need something to top of your garden-veg, as a great alternative to mayonnaise, and simply a nice dip without any of the guilt. If on a cleanse, simply skip the olive-oil and make this a virtually fat-free dressing. Either or, this sauce will leave you longing for more.
ayurveda

Feeling Vata: add more lemon juice and salt. You can try experimenting with basil, coriander, dill, rosemary and thyme.
Feeling Pitta: leave out the garlic or just use half or less of a clove. You can use herbs such as coriander, dill, fennel, parsley, and tarragon.
Feeling Kapha: add more black pepper. Try experimenting with adding herbs such as thyme, rosemary, fennel, fennugreek, marjoram and tarragon.

Herby Fat-free white sauce
This deliciously creamy white sauce is a total winner when you need something to top of your garden-veg, as a great alternative to mayonnaise, and simply a nice dip without any of the guilt. If on a cleanse, simply skip the olive-oil and make this a virtually fat-free dressing. Either or, this sauce will leave you longing for more.

Ingredients

  • 1 x clove of garlic
  • 1 x shallot, chopped
  • 2 x teaspoons of olive oil (omit for a fat-free dressing)
  • 1 x cup plant-milk alternative (I use oatly's organice oat milk)
  • 1 x teaspoon fresh parsley
  • 1/2 a teaspoon of stock-powder (ensure that you're stock powder is yeast free, and most importantly has no added fats such a hydrogenated vegetable oils, palm oils, etc. Be sure to also buy a brand that is free of maltodextrin, and any other natural or unnatual flavourings). 
  • 1 x teaspoon fresh dill
  • 3/4 of a teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 x teaspoon coconut aminos (leave out if doing a cleanse)
  • 1 x teaspoon arrowroot powder
  • half a teaspoon of lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix all the ingredients together in a high-speed blender, plus salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Add the mixture to a heavy bottom sauce pan and heat lightly on the stove.
  3. Keep stirring the mixture and increase heat bit by bit for about 3-5 minutes until mixture thickens up nicely. If you don't reach a nice thickness after a while, simply add a bit more arrowroot powder and keep heating and stirring (don't bring to the boil though!)
  4. Take off the heat and let the sauce cool down.
  5. Once its cooled down a little have a try and season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Let cool for at least an hour in the fridge, then serve!

Notes

Play around with other herbs that you like such as coriander parsley, dill, dried herbs de provence, italian herb mixes, and so forth.

ayurveda

Feeling Vata: you do best without the wasabi and the cayenne but can crank up the lemon juice and the maple syrup.

Feeling Pitta: go easier on the spice, too hot is not good for you.

Feeling Kapha: you can turn up the spice a bit and add more of the cayenne for a metabolism boost.
