Canadian Honey Dill Sauce is Manitoba's iconic dipping sauce, known for its creamy texture, sweet-and-tangy flavor, and fresh herbaceous notes from dill. It's the perfect companion for chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, wings, chicken sandwiches, wraps, fries, fish sticks, and even salmon. It's a mayo-based sauce without being overly mayonnaise forward. The sweetness is perfectly balanced by acidity. While lemon pepper adds a bright citrus flavor without thinning the sauce with extra lemon juice. A touch of Dijon mustard brings just the right amount of twang, creating an irresistible creamy dipping sauce that's surprisingly addictive.

Notes
There are many restaurant versions that will often add a small amount of garlic and/or onion powder & lemon juice if a tangier sauce is desired. You can of course adjust to your taste. Add more honey for sweeter (Greetalia style) or less honey for creamier results. You can increase the dill and even add in lemon juice for tanginess. A pinch of salt, pepper, onion & garlic powder can also be added. Entirely up to you how you want to adjust the flavor.
