Notes

  • Tzatziki Sauce
  • is a great addition to just about any meat dish (and veggie for that matter) in my opinion! 
  • The cilantro and garlic in this
  • Argentinian Chimichurri Sauce
  • works wonderfully with the curry in the chicken marinade. 
  • Try
  • Cilantro Lime Avocado Sauce
  • when you're in the mood for a little bit of green and some heart-healthy fats in your dipping sauce. 
  • Honey Mustard
  • sauce adds a little bit of tang and sweet to the skewers. 
  • Use store-bought hoisin or even teriyaki sauce drizzled over the skewers for a sauce that's salty, tasty, and not too thick. 
  • You can also try a nut-free peanut butter alternative as a substitution (I have heard good things about Wowbutter) in the Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce instead of regular creamy peanut butter.
