Does anyone have a good dipping sauce recipe?

Ooh, ooh, I’m sending this to Kardamom!

She always has the best answers regarding food.

I make a habanero mango salsa similar to this.

This isn’t a recipe, but if you have a Cheesecake Factory (the chain restaurant) near you their peanut sauce that they use for their lettuce wraps is so delicious. You can buy a pint at the front counter.

I love garlic aioli.

I recently had something similar to tzatziki sauce, but made with sour cream. It was delicious on grilled fish.

Several years ago I made a cheese and Buffalo chicken dip that was excellent. If I recall correctly, it was equal parts
– sharp cheddar;
– cream cheese;
– bleu cheese
– shredded chicken
and Frank’s or equivalent hot sauce to taste, all melted in a crock pot. Oh, that was good on crackers.

@Kardamom have you written a cookbook yet? If so, I want to buy it… if only for the photos.

Horseradish dill sauce is great for dipping cajun stuff or things wrapped in bacon.

Equal parts horse radish and mayo mix it together and then add dill till it suits your tastes.

@CWOTUS Ha Ha! Actually I cmpiled a digital cookbook for a cousin’s 50th birthday, with 50 recipes, and one for my best friend’s 40th, with 40 recipes. It’s funny, because with some of the recipes, I didn’t like the picture that came with it, so I did Google image searches until I found a similar dish that looked better presentation wise. But I was careful to make sure that if something listed peas, or peppers, I made sure that you could actually see those items in the picture, just a little attention to detail. Instead of just doing cut and paste, like I do here with the links, I actually formatted each page and typed in all of the instructions so they would all look the same, and I put the pictures in the same place. I probably should have listed where the recipes came from, but since I wasn’t selling these “cookbooks” I didn’t bother, they’re just for fun. I saved them in PDF form so they wouldn’t get altered accidentally while my cousin and friend were looking at them on their computers.

1 large jar of cheese whiz or a large block of velveeta
2 bricks of cream cheese
1 can cream of shrimp soup
12 oz of your favorite beer
8 ounces of crab meat
1 tbsp old bay seasoning
2–3 cloves minced fresh garlic

Throw it all in a crock pot on low and let it all melt together and heat through. When it’s ready serve it with a couple of loaves of good sourdough bread that your can tear hunks off of and dip to your heart’s content. A few beers to wash it down with is pretty nice as well.

@jon, that sounds so bad it has to be good.

@Seek_Kolinahr . . . you get the freshest loaf of sourdough you can and it the goodiest.
