If, like me, you are a fan of sweet chilli sauce, this healthy version will make you squeal with excitement once you try it. I promise. Not only is it absolutely delicious but the ingredients are pure medicine (anti-inflammatory and anti-viral properties).
Ideal to keep in the fridge at all times and add to your favourite meals. I like to serve it in a mezze platter, alongside crackers, olives and veggie sticks or as a dip for vietnamese veggie rolls.
