Ingredients in Sweet Potato Fries Dipping Sauce
This list of ingredients is simple but packs a lot of flavors. You will find most, if not all of these ingredients in your pantry. It is a quick and easy dip to make right before dinner and can be stored for a period of time to keep fresh!
Mayonnaise – Creaminess with a thick texture to add a cold flavor. Fresh lime juice – Slice a lime in half and give it a big squeeze into the mayo. Ground Chipotle powder – Smoky with a bit of heat and sweetness in this spice. Chili powder – Just a little heat to make this sauce the most flavorful. Paprika – Added for color and a mild and sweet taste. Cumin – Has a rich and earthy taste to it. Garlic powder – Brings in the garlic without having to buy fresh and peel it.
Recipe Tips for the Dipping Sauce
This sweet potato fries dip mixture is my absolute favorite! It is full of all the flavors with a beautiful orange color that looks delicious to dip in. And it’s really easy to throw together!
Extra heat – For extra heat, add a few shakes of cayenne pepper, sriracha sauce, or your favorite hot sauce.Lime flavor – You can sub out the fresh lime for a couple of tablespoons of lime juice from a bottle, but I think the fresh lime juice tastes better.Sweetness – It sounds crazy but to lower the heat and add a little more sweetness, add a tablespoon of maple syrup or brown sugar to have a sweet addition to this dipping sauce. Reduce the calories! Keep calories down by using light mayo, or substitute all or part of the mayonnaise for light sour cream or plain Greek yogurt.Storing – Cover up any leftover dip and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. It does not do well frozen.
