In my opinion, one of the joys of eating pizza, is taking the crusts, and dipping them into a really good sauce. Many people use ranch dressing, and although I do love a good ranch dressing, I wanted something with a bit more tang, and a bit of kick, so I came up with this. It is easy to make, and tastes awesome. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.
