Ingredients

Scale

Horseradish Sauce Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (drained)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives or parsley (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small bowl, add the sour cream, prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar or lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir thoroughly until smooth and all ingredients are evenly blended.
  2. Adjust Flavor: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. You can add more horseradish for extra heat or reduce it for milder flavor.
  3. Chill for Best Flavor: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the sauce into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle chopped chives or parsley on top if using, adding a fresh herbal note and visual appeal.

Notes

  • This sauce pairs perfectly with roast beef, steak, prime rib, or grilled vegetables.
  • Use less horseradish for a milder version or add more for extra heat.
  • Keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
