Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Drain the prepared horseradish thoroughly to remove excess liquid. This step prevents a watery sauce.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, drained horseradish, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Stir all ingredients together until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice for brightness.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or pepper to your preference.
- Cover the bowl and chill the creamy horseradish sauce for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend.

Notes
- For a bolder flavor, use freshly grated horseradish instead of prepared.
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a teaspoon of milk or heavy cream until you reach your desired consistency.
- This sauce is excellent as a zesty dip recipe for roasted vegetables or as a condiment on roast beef sandwiches.
