Ingredients Needed
Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
- Horseradish: We’re using prepared horseradish here (not horseradish sauce), it’s basically the same stuff that you’d use for a bloody mary. This can be found in the chilled section in any supermarket. It’s made of grated horseradish root, vinegar, and salt so make sure that you read the ingredient list on the jar. If there are more ingredients on the list, such as egg yolks, don’t buy it for this recipe. You should also notice the heat level indicated on the jar, so buy one that suits your preferences.
- Sour Cream, Mayo, and Dijon Mustard: Creamy sour cream is our base for this sauce, mayo and Dijon mustard are added for flavor.
- Vinegar, Salt, Pepper, and Chives: If needed, vinegar can be substituted with lemon juice, and chives can be substituted with the green parts of a green onion.
Tip!
For sweetness, 1 teaspoon of honey, maple syrup, or sugar can be added to the sauce if desired.
