This creamy horseradish sauce is a tangy and spicy condiment perfect for elevating meats, sandwiches, and roasted vegetables. Made with fresh grated horseradish root blended into a smooth mixture of sour cream and mayonnaise, it's brightened with lemon juice and Dijon mustard for a balanced flavor with a bit of a kick.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons fresh horseradish root, grated
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients including fresh horseradish root, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Mix Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Horseradish: Stir in the freshly grated horseradish root, mixing thoroughly to distribute the spicy flavor evenly throughout the creamy base.
  4. Season the Sauce: Add lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
  5. Adjust Flavor and Consistency: Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more horseradish for extra heat or more sour cream to mellow it out. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated horseradish root for the best flavor and heat. Prepared horseradish can be substituted but will be less vibrant.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to personal taste preferences.
  • For a thinner sauce, add a small amount of milk or buttermilk.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container; the sauce keeps well for up to one week.
  • This sauce pairs well with beef, pork, smoked fish, and as a sandwich spread.
