5 TikTok Food Trends Worth Trying at Home

Pink sauce took the world by storm when a Tiktok creator, who goes by the name Chef Pii, shared this bright-colored pink sauce that she slathered on everything – fries, chicken tenders, and even salads. Since we can’t buy the $20 pink sauce here in the Philippines and we don’t want the risk of exploding bottles, we recommend making this bright-hued sauce at home.

To make, add the following ingredients to a blender: 2 cups of Lady's Choice Real Mayonnaise, ½ tbsp honey, 3 garlic cloves, ½ tsp cayenne pepper, 2 tbsp white vinegar, 1 tbsp milk, and ⅓ cup dragon fruit. Blend well and add salt and pepper to suit your taste. Now you have your very own TikTok pink sauce that you can use on a variety of foods.
