Despite its popularity in Manitoba, Honey Dill sauce remains relatively unknown in other parts of Canada and the world.

The ingredients are typically mixed together until smooth and then refrigerated for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Usage

While Honey Dill sauce is most commonly used as a dipping sauce for chicken fingers, it can also be used with a variety of other foods. It pairs well with fried foods such as french fries and onion rings, and can also be used as a salad dressing or sandwich spread.

Cultural Significance

In Manitoba, Honey Dill sauce is more than just a condiment. It is a symbol of provincial pride and a unique part of the local culinary scene. Many Manitobans consider Honey Dill sauce to be a must-have accompaniment to chicken fingers, and the sauce is often included in gift baskets and care packages sent to Manitobans living out of province.
