What is a dipping sauce?

If you are wondering what is the difference between any normal sauce available in the market and dipping sauce then here is what you need to know! Learn the definition of dipping sauce first! And we will help you with that. This is basically a simple condiment that is served with fries, appetizers, and so on.

You can even enjoy these dipping sauces with your veggies and salads too! Made with mayonnaise, ketchup, and many other simple spices, condiments like these are perfect to be served with appetizers and starters to the main course.

How to make a general dipping sauce?

Of course, you need to follow a particular recipe when you are making this dipping sauce! There are numerous options and flavors that you can indulge in! However, the general steps more or less remain the same. You need to follow a particular ratio for making the sauce of the respective ingredients. You can adjust the components to make sure that the flavor of your dipping sauce can be altered.

All you need to do is whisk all the ingredients in a bowl and then add some salt to taste! Make sure you taste your sauce before adding salt because some of the ingredients will already contain salt and more can ruin its taste completely. You can choose to place your dipping sauce in the refrigerator for thirty minutes so that you can enjoy cold dips with hot fries and freshly baked appetizers.

What are the common dishes with which you can serve dipping sauce?

Of course, the most obvious thing that comes to our head is french fries but apart from that, there are several other options as well. You may serve your homemade dipping sauce with hamburgers, shrimp, turkey burgers, potato wedges, and so on. If you go on to make a list then that will simply turn out to be endless.

What is the right way to store your dipping sauce?

Now it might happen that you made more dipping sauce than you need! What to do with the extra sauce? Of course, you would want to store them away! But how exactly? Such sour and tangy sauces have a good shelf life of one week and so on. In case, you have a surplus there is no need for you to worry that the entire will go to waste. But make sure you separate the portions before you dip your fries into it otherwise the unwanted crumbs will remain in the rest of the dip and give it an ugly appearance.
