Horseradish Sauce Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish (adjust to taste for heat)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and fresh lemon juice. Stir these ingredients together until they are fully mixed to create a smooth base for the sauce.
- Season the Sauce: Add the white vinegar, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until the sauce is smooth and all components are well incorporated, providing balanced tanginess and seasoning.
- Adjust Flavor: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning to your preference. Add more horseradish if you prefer a spicier kick, or more sour cream if you desire a milder, creamier flavor.
- Chill the Sauce: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the sauce to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and enhance the taste.
- Serve: Serve the creamy horseradish sauce chilled as a perfect accompaniment to roast beef, steak, sandwiches, or drizzled over cooked vegetables for an added burst of flavor.

- For a lighter version, substitute sour cream with low-fat Greek yogurt.
- The sauce can be made a day in advance to deepen the flavors.
