Homemade horseradish sauce is a zesty, creamy condiment with a spicy bite.
Sour cream, mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, and garlic powder blend into a creamy sauce with endless possibilities!
Horseradish Sauce Is a Must-Make Because…
- Horseradish sauce is a milder, more versatile version of straight horseradish, perfect for spreading or dipping.
- One step and a few ingredients that can be customized to your zesty flavor level!
- Use it on prime rib, roast beef, or as a dip for rosemary potato wedges, or amp up the flavor of potato salad.
Ingredients in Horseradish Sauce
Horseradish: A small jar of horseradish or fresh horseradish root from the garden works here.
If using fresh, peel horseradish and pulse in a food processor until finely ground (watch out for pungent fumes)!
Creamy Base: Mayo and sour cream with a little lemon juice and garlic powder balance the strong flavor of horseradish. Greek yogurt can be used in place of sour cream for a lower-calorie sauce.
Variations
- Finely chopped chives or parsley add a shot of color to horseradish sauce, as will a sprinkle of paprika.
