4 tsp fresh lemon juice
1⁄2 tsp sea salt (or more to taste)
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
Soaking water, as needed
Directions
Soak dates for at least 4 hours in water.
Drain dates, reserving the soak water.
Add dates to a food processor along with all other ingredients, except soaking water.
Blend on high until dates are smooth. Add soaking water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached (for a sauce to pour or drizzle, add more water).
Store in an airtight glass container in the fridge for up to a week.
