Who doesn't love an easy 4-Ingredient horseradish mayonnaise dressing? It's creamy, tangy, and oh-so-addictive. Not mention quick and easy to make too!
In a small mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, horseradish cream, soy sauce and the juice of ½ a lemon.
Whisk until all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly and take on a light and creamy consistency.
Notes
If this creamy horseradish mayo is too rich for you, you can swap out half the quantity of the mayo with Greek yoghurt or sour cream. This will also add a little tang to the overall flavour profile.
Complementing the horseradish cream, you can add mustard, fresh horseradish or even some wasabi! That will really get the pungency heightened!
As always, you can mix in chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill for added freshness and flavour.
Add some lemon zest for a bright, citrusy flavour. Might as well use the entire fruit.
If you're not a massive citrus fan, swap the lemon juice for white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar for a different acidity.
Replace the soy sauce with tamari for gluten free option.
To add a little twist to the recipe, experiment with spices like paprika, cayenne pepper, or garlic powder.
It is crucial that a good quality mayonnaise is used. It must be rich and creamy, especially if you're using this recipe more as a horseradish aioli or a dipping condiment.
Please use fresh lemons and their zest if you wish. No lemon juice out of a bottle.
Don't use dark soy sauce, as it will discolour the homemade horseradish mayo and take on a darker consistency.
Aim for a smooth and creamy consistency. Whisk the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure they are well combined.
Allow the horseradish mayonnaise to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving, if time permits. This will help the flavours meld together and enhance the overall taste.
