      I am so with you on sauces, love to try new ones. This sounds so yummy but I don't use oil for health reasons. Would I be able to use with out oil?

      Thank You and love all your unique recipes!!!

      Hi, I didn't have all the ingredients but decided to make this anyways, and it was really good! The flavour combination of apple cider vinegar, sunflower and turmeric was really nice and I'm sure that it would be even better if I had fully followed the recipe!
      Will make again, thanks for sharing.
