Raw Vegan Creamy Chipotle Sauce/ Salad Dressing

This is between a sauce and salad dressing, so I have been using for both!  Works great on top of rice and beans (obviously not raw), or on dehydrator-sauteed vegetables, especially if they are seasoned in a latin fashion (oregano, cumin etc.).  Or use this in wrap sandwiches to add some flavor, salt and gooey-ness.

If you want to be fancy, this would be beautiful piped out of a ketchup bottle or pastry bag.

SAUCE:
Yield approx 1 pint of sauce

Blend until smooth:
1/2 C nuts (almond, pine nut, sunflower seed)
1/4 C lemon juice
1/4 C olive oil
1/4 C water
1 tomato (or red bell pepper)
1/4 C cilantro
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp agave
1/2 dried chipotle chile
1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste)

Refrigerate and use on veggies, salad or tacos.
