Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup prepared white horseradish, drained
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and white wine vinegar.
- Stir the ingredients together until they are fully mixed and smooth.
- Season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Stir again to combine.
- Taste the sauce. If you want more heat, add another teaspoon of horseradish. If you want more tang, add a splash more vinegar.
- Cover the bowl and chill the creamy horseradish sauce in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.
Notes
- For a sauce similar to Ina Garten’s style, you can substitute half of the sour cream with mayonnaise for a richer texture.
- If you are using fresh horseradish root instead of prepared, grate about 1 tablespoon of root and add it slowly, tasting as you go, as fresh root is much stronger.
- This homemade horseradish sauce is the best sauce for prime rib and roast beef.
