Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients including jarred banana peppers, banana pepper juice, tahini, water, canned white beans or chickpeas, nutritional yeast, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, dried chives, sea salt, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard.
- Combine in Blender: Place all ingredients into a high-speed blender or food processor to ensure even blending and a smooth texture.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture thoroughly until the sauce is creamy and smooth with no visible chunks.
- Serve: Transfer the sauce to a serving dish. Use as a sandwich spread, drizzle over salads, or serve as a dip with chips or fresh veggies for an added burst of flavor.
Notes
- Use white beans or chickpeas based on preference; both add creaminess and protein.
- Adjust water quantity to reach desired sauce consistency.
- Store sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Maple syrup adds a subtle sweetness balancing the tangy banana peppers but can be omitted for less sweetness.
- Make sure to use jarred banana peppers and their juice for authentic flavor and acidity.
