Ingredients
Scale
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup prepared horseradish, drained well
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Combine the sour cream and heavy cream in a medium bowl. Whisk until smooth.
Add the drained prepared horseradish, white vinegar, and Dijon mustard to the cream mixture.
Stir in the salt and black pepper.
Mix everything together until the sauce is uniform and creamy.
Taste the sauce and adjust salt or horseradish for your preferred level of heat.
Cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes
Drain the prepared horseradish thoroughly using a fine-mesh sieve or by pressing it between paper towels. Excess liquid makes the sauce thin.
For a stronger flavor, use freshly grated horseradish instead of prepared, but reduce the amount used initially.
You can make this sauce up to two days ahead of time. Store it covered in the refrigerator.
