Notes
- Stir or whisk. Combine the sauce well, but do not whip it. Doing so incorporates extra air, affecting the rich and creamy texture.
- Adjust the horseradish to taste. For milder palates, start with less prepared horseradish. For those who enjoy extra heat, stir in more to taste.
- Let the flavors meld. The sauce gets more flavorful as it rests. If possible, chill it covered for at least 1 hour before serving. If possible, I like to make it the day before I plan to use it for the best flavor!
- Thin the sauce. If you prefer a thinner sauce or want to drizzle it, thin the sauce with water or heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, until you have reached your desired consistency.
- Optional variations. To add brightness to the sauce, stir in a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. For smoky dimension, add smoked paprika. Add a salty, briny flavor by mixing in a teaspoon of drained capers. You can also stir in hot sauce for more heat.
