Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. You need sour cream, prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, drained prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
  3. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Stir in the salt and pepper until evenly distributed.
  5. Taste the sauce. If you want more zing, add a small amount more horseradish.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the sauce for at least 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Notes

  • Drain the prepared horseradish well; excess liquid makes the sauce watery.
  • For a sharper flavor, substitute half of the sour cream with heavy cream or crème fraîche.
  • This sauce pairs well with deli sandwiches or salmon.
