Ingredients list
Homemade horseradish sauce is a simple yet flavorful mix of 5 ingredients, most of which are common pantry ingredients other than the horseradish.
- Sour cream - Crème fraîche can be used in place of sour cream, as can Greek yogurt. Use the full-fat varieties.
- Mayo - Extra sour cream or Greek yogurt can be used in place of mayo if you're not a fan. Regular mayo or miracle whip mayo are both great options, with the later providing a touch more sweetness.
- Prepared horseradish - Prepared horseradish from the store contains extra liquid, so make sure to strain before preparing the recipe.
- Dijon mustard (optional)
- Chopped chives - Freeze dried chives are a great swap for fresh. Even chopped green onions would impart a lovely flavor as well.
- Fresh lemon juice - Vinegar or apple cider vinegar can be used in place of lemon juice.
** Please see the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the exact quantities **
Variations
- Worcestershire Sauce
- Use apple cider vinegar, champagne vinegar, or even lemon juice as an acid, whichever is your preference.
- Grated horseradish root - If you do happen to make horseradish sauce with freshly grated horseradish root, do take note that this will bring a lot more heat than prepared horseradish from the store.
- Salt and Black Pepper
Kitchen tools
- Use a strainer or cheesecloth to drain the extra liquid from the jarred horseradish.
How to Make Creamy Horseradish Sauce
Remove the liquid from the horseradish by pressing the horseradish with a spoon into a small strainer. In a small bowl, whisk the sour cream, mayo, horseradish, fresh chives, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste (optional).
Serve the creamy horseradish sauce with corned beef, prime rib, beef tenderloin, or ham. Enjoy!
Recipe notes
- Itʼs easy to double the recipe if you just can't get enough sauce. It's delicious served with a beef roast such as corned beef or prime rib, pork roast, or ham.
- You can also use all sour cream instead of a combo of sour cream and mayonnaise, we just find the addition of mayo gives it a little something extra.
- Removing the excess moisture from the horseradish will give you the perfect sauce consistency, if you skip this step the sauce will be thinner.
- For a sweeter sauce you can mix in honey or brown sugar to taste.
- Store the sauce in the fridge for up to 5 days.
