Lets talk bought this controversially titled sauce. Bitchin’ Sauce was founded by husband and wife duo Starr & L.A. Edwards. They started selling their almond based dips in the farmers markets in and around San Diego which eventually grew into a company selling a wide variety of dips everywhere, even large tubs in Costco. How cool is that! you can read about about the company and their various products here.
I made my own version for everyone who can’t find this sauce. Its vegan and made with simple ingredients, we love it so much I keep a batch in the fridge for dipping, smearing and bowls like this!
For this recipe I used chipotle with adobo sauce for heat. Replace with sriracha or your favorite hot sauce if it’s easier to find. Alternatively about ½-1 tsp chili powder works too. Liquid aminos is another ingredient that may not be available everywhere, sub with low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos. I got good results with both.
