5 reasons to love this easy sauce recipe

  1. With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up this creamy dipping sauce in 5-minutes flat!
  2. It really shouldn’t be limited to fries, you can use it to slather on burgers or wraps, to drizzle over veggies, as a dip for crackers or even as a salad dressing.
  3. You can store it for several weeks in the fridge, but I bet you’ll use it up before then!
  4. Pair this dipping sauce with some crispy air fryer sweet potato fries (from frozen) for the ultimate quick and easy weeknight side dish.

Ingredient notes from testing

  • Mayonnaise – For an easy homemade option, try out our homemade mayo recipe.
  • Garlic – Opt for fresh minced garlic for the best flavor!
  • Sea salt – Mix the dip and add any additional salt at the end. Most store-bought mayo and mustard already has salt in it so you may not need any.

Tips from an expert home chef

  • I highly recommend making this ahead of time and letting the flavors meld in the fridge for a while.
  • You can easily scale this recipe up or down to suit your needs. Just adjust the serving size in the recipe card and the ingredients will automatically update for you!
