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.

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

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your sauce will taste. This is especially true for herbs, spices, and vegetables.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making sauces. Don't be afraid to try different flavor combinations and techniques.
- Taste your sauce as you go: This is the best way to ensure that your sauce is seasoned correctly. Add more salt, pepper, or other seasonings as needed.
- Let your sauce simmer: Simmering allows the flavors in your sauce to meld and develop. The longer you simmer your sauce, the better it will taste.
- Store your sauce properly: Once you've made your sauce, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze your sauce for up to 3 months.
