Make this sauce to use as a vegetable dipper tonight and as an ingredient for tomorrow’s dinner.
Hands-on time: 10 minutes

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium, if you prefer)
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

COOK’S NOTES
Make this sauce to use as a vegetable dipper tonight and as an ingredient for tomorrow’s dinner. It’d delicious on noodles, grilled chicken or fish, lettuce wraps…it’s incredibly addictive!
