Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup sour cream providing richness and a tangy flavor
  • 2 tbsp prepared horseradish adjust based on spice preference
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard adds complexity and tang
  • 1 tsp lemon juice brightens the flavors
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Medium Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Plastic Wrap or Airtight Container

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, add the sour cream, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Using a whisk or spoon, mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly blended. This should take about a minute.
  2. Step 2: After mixing, taste your sauce and add salt and pepper as needed to adjust the flavor profile according to your preference.
  3. Step 3: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  4. Step 4: After the sauce has chilled, give it a quick stir before serving. It pairs beautifully with roasted meats, seafood, or as a spicy dip for veggies.

Notes

For a creamier texture, consider using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. This sauce is also vegan-friendly if you substitute with plant-based yogurt or cashew cream.
