Honey Mustard Sauce
This’s incredibly tasty and versatile dipping sauce is perfect for crispy chicken fingers or fries.
All you need are:
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons mayo
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon grated garlic
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Tip
Grating garlic clove on a microplane zester distributes it evenly and enhances the garlic flavor!
MY FAVORITE ZESTER!
This zester is my kitchen staple!! I use it for everything from zesting a lemon to grating a garlic clove to grating a nutmeg!!
Spicy Ketchup
When you’re craving something with a kick, try this easy spicy ketchup!
All you need are:
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon Sriracha
Horseradish Mayo
Ah, this’s such an addicting dipping sauce. I especially love it with a grilled steak, like lean tenderloin.
Simply mix together following ingredients:
- ¼ cup mayo
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
Garlic Aioli
Not an authentic one, but nonetheless delicious!! Seriously, this’s my all-time favorite dip/sauce that you can always find in my fridge.
Spread it on a burger bun, or dip in artichoke leaves!!
You’ll need:
- ½ cup mayo
- 1 small garlic cloves grated
- ½ tablespoon lemon juice
Tahini Dip
Nutty rich tahini makes the most incredible veggie dip!! I’d never complain snacking on carrots and cucumber when I have this dip!
All you need are:
- ¼ cup tahini
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- ½ teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons or more ice-cold water
Make-Ahead Tips:
Each sauce can be made ahead. In fact, some of these dipping sauces are best when prepared in advance, like garlic aioli. It helps the flavors get a chance to mingle together and get even more flavorful!
However, spicy ketchup or honey mustard sauce are great as a last minute sauce!
Yes, there’s something for everyone!!! Pick and choose as you will!
Hope you’ll try any (or all) of these sauces. And please let me know your thoughts, if you try them.
