dipping sauce
Flavor for dipping
A dipping sauce is a thick, flavorful sauce served alongside food for dunking pieces into before eating.
Common examples include ranch for chicken wings, soy sauce for dumplings, and marinara for breadsticks.
The texture is usually thick enough to cling to the food: The fries came with three dipping sauces.
