    Honey Dill Sauce | The absolute best dip for french fries and chicken fingers! This simple but flavor-packed dip requires just three easily accessible ingredients. Five minutes to mix it up, and you'll be dipping french fries, chicken fingers, whatever you desire! Perfect on the side of a weeknight meal or for a party.

    Honey Dill Sauce with French Fries

    You're probably going to want to turn your oven on right now because once you mix together this 5-minute dip, you'll want to dip something in it immediately! I promise.

    Have you ever had honey dill sauce? It's a deliciously simple mix of mayonnaise, honey, and dill.

    And it was 'invented' in my hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba.

    Honey Dill Sauce with French Fries

    The story of how it came to be was something I learned after doing a bit of research on honey dill sauce. I had no idea that it was made up by a restaurant owner in my hometown (Love the restaurant too - Mitzi's if you're interested. The link is to their Facebook page, I don't think they have a website. Have the chicken fingers if you go there.)

    Anyway, I think the story goes that the couple went out for dinner one night and ate a dip that they couldn't stop thinking about later. Upon trying to recreate it, they accidentally created this sauce. I'm so glad they did. (I've read their recipe uses dried mustard and lemon. I keep mine to the three main ingredients. I like it that way.)

    Questions About Making Honey Dill Sauce

    Is this exactly the same as Mitzi's?

    No, I think they use mustard powder and lemon in theirs.

      I don’t live in Winnipeg anymore so I JUST tried (and heard of) this sauce this summer when we went back - thank you for the simple recipe, this is the closest to the one I tried and it’s great!
