Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Whisk together the 4 tbsp mayonnaise, 1 tbsp prepared horseradish, and 1 tsp ketchup in a small bowl until smooth and uniform.
  2. Add the 1 tsp white vinegar, ½ tsp paprika, ¼ tsp garlic powder, ¼ tsp onion powder, ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper, and 1 tsp fresh lemon juice. Whisk for 20 seconds until fully combined, then taste and add salt as needed.
  3. Transfer to a small bowl, swirl the top with the back of a spoon, and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving alongside onion rings or fries.

Notes

This sauce is forgiving, so adjust the horseradish to your taste after the first whisk. If you're making it for a crowd, double or triple the batch the night before and store it covered in the fridge. The only real mistake to avoid is using creamy horseradish sauce instead of plain prepared horseradish, which makes the result taste nothing like the original.
