This is a great, easy sauce, but not lemony enough for me. Simple fix: Increase lemon juice to 2.5 tablespoons and zest to 2 teaspoons. BTW, I used a commercially available non-dairy butter made with coconut milk and cashews. It worked well in this recipe.
The finished sauce ended up being kind of a sad color so I blended it. Lovely!
