Sauce Essentials Lemon Buttermilk Dipping Sauce Recipes

SAUCE ESSENTIALS: DIPPING SAUCES

Steps:

• PREP/PREPARE
• Chef'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.
• Chef'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.
• Chef'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.
• If 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.
• Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
• ADDITIONAL RECIPE If you have never baked you garlic, you should give it a try. Here's a recipe on how it's accomplished: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/seasoning-mix/cooking-essentials-baked-garlic.html?p=4
