sauce essentials: dipping sauces
These five dipping sauces are on my rotation whenever I’m working with things like chicken. In truth, I use them with chicken, pork, and even fish. And how about using them with a nice plate of veggies... Rather than post five separate recipes (life’s too short), I thought I would just include all of them in one. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make sauce essentials: dipping sauces
-
1PREP/PREPARE
-
2Chef’s Note: In all cases, take the ingredients, and blend together, then refrigerate in a tightly sealed jar. They will last for 10 – 14 days.
-
3Chef’s Tip: I like to make my own mayonnaise for these dips. If you use homemade mayo, then the shelf life will only be about 5 – 7 days.
-
4Chef’s Tip: If you can store them in the fridge overnight before using, that will give the ingredients a chance to know one another, and they will taste even yummier the next day.
-
5If you would like to make these dips more vegan then substitute the mayonnaise with Vegenaise. I use it all the time for my vegan clients.
-
6Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
