Tonnato Sauce
This Italian sauce is traditionally served with cold veal or cold roast turkey. It’s also great with cold roast vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, etc.). The tonnato sauce is usually emulsified with mayo or cream, but almond butter does this great as well. You can keep this sauce in the fridge for a few days.
