In my opinion, one of the joys of eating pizza, is taking the crusts, and dipping them into a really good sauce. Many people use ranch dressing, and although I do love a good ranch dressing, I wanted something with a bit more tang, and a bit of kick, so I came up with this. It is easy to make, and tastes awesome. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make dip essentials: awesome pizza dipping sauce

Step 1

PREP/PREPARE

Step 2

If you do not want to use a dill pickle, substitute about 2 tablespoons of dill relish.
Step 3

I like to vary the amounts in this recipe: Sometimes more dehydrated onions, or more (or less) lemon juice. Have fun with it, and make it your own “special” dipping sauce.
Step 4

Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
Step 5

Use a spice blender, or mortar and pestle, to grind up the dehydrated onions.
Step 6

Add all of the ingredients to a blender, or prep bowl.
Step 7

Blend until completely smooth.
Step 8

Chef’s Note: Do a final tasting for proper seasoning.
Step 9

Store in the fridge, in a sealed jar, until ready to use.
Step 10

Chef’s Tip: If you let it sit overnight in the fridge, it will taste better the next day.
Step 11

PLATE/PRESENT
Step 12

Serve as a side with your favorite pizza, and dip away. Enjoy.
Step 13

Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
