Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup prepared horseradish, drained well
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Drain the prepared horseradish using a fine-mesh sieve or by pressing it between paper towels to remove excess liquid. This step keeps your sauce from becoming watery.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained horseradish, sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
- Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the salt and black pepper. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed.
- For the best flavor, cover the bowl and chill the creamy horseradish sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- If you prefer a bolder flavor, use a higher quality, freshly grated horseradish instead of prepared.
- For a tangier sauce, add 1/2 teaspoon more lemon juice.
- This sauce pairs well with roast beef sandwiches or as a dip for vegetables.
