2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Coarse salt and fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup olive oil

  • For a healthier version of the ranch dipping sauce, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise.
  • Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, barbecue sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
