Easy hors d’œuvre: garlicky mayo – vinaigrette dip

04/03/2007 //  by Connie Veneracion

I originally planned on posting this as the last entry in the four-part series on easy hors d’Å”uvre featuring tilapia fillets. You know, post the fish recipes first and the dip, last. But I figured you might already decide to cook the first hors d’œuvre and it wouldn’t be fair if I held on to the dip recipe instead of allowing you to enjoy your hors d’œuvre with it. So, I rescheduled the posting dates so that you can have the garlicky mayo-vinaigrette dip recipe ahead of the two other hors d’Å”uvre recipes.

The easiest and one of the best dips to go with fried fish is a mixture of mayo, garlic, salt and pepper thinned with a little water. My daughter Sam loves it. But you can go a step farther by incorporating more flavors to create a more robust dip — nothing shy nor safe but something bold and full-bodied.

The first step is to use vinaigrette in lieu of water. You can use lemon juice too — I’ve tried it and it’s also good — but vinaigrette really adds a huge amount of pizazz to the dip. The second step is to add a hint of herby flavor and aroma. You can do this by adding a pinch of finely chopped herb that goes well with dips. I opt for dill or mint because they add a wonderful cool sensation to the taste buds.

To make the dip, mix equal amounts of mayo and vinaigrette in a bowl. Add some finely minced garlic (how much depends on your preference) and a pinch of finely chopped dill or mint.

That’s it! Dip your fried or grilled fish into the garlicky mayo-vinaigrette mixture and enjoy. :)

    ces, o di ba, despite the bad press mayo has been getting, it’s so versatile? :)

    erik, it says right above the submit button — i don’t email recipes. you must have missed it. i don’t have a request-a-recipe service either.

    as for pichi pichi, there is a search box above. one box to search all three food blogs. if you use it, you will find the pichi pichi recipe.
