The first time I had Garlic Dill Dipping Sauce was on a trip to the east coast of Canada at a restaurant called Harvey’s. It was so good I wanted to make my own when I got back home.
Technically this Dipping Sauce recipe should also be categorized as a Copycat Recipe since a restaurant inspired it. I will need to think about that one.

Tips
- Let the sauce sit for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator. This will allow all the flavors to meld. You can use it immediately, but the longer you let it sit in the refrigerator, the more flavorful it will be.
In addition to dipping your chicken tenders or french fries in this delicious dipping sauce, you can also use it to dip vegetables.
