  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add other nuts, seeds, or spices to your sauce to create a unique flavor profile. For example, you could add almonds, cashews, ginger, or garlic.
  • Make sure your sauce is well-blended. This will help to prevent it from separating. You can use a blender, food processor, or immersion blender to blend your sauce.
