Instructions

Combine: Place all ingredients into a small bowl.
Mix: Stir well until the sauce is smooth and fully combined.

Notes

Start light: Add the horseradish gradually so you can control the bite and avoid overpowering the sauce.
Mix thoroughly: Stir until completely smooth to ensure the horseradish is evenly distributed throughout.
Choose quality ingredients: With only a few components, each one directly affects the final flavor.
Let flavors settle: Allow the sauce to rest briefly so the sharp edges mellow and the flavors meld together.
Taste and adjust: Always finish by tasting and adjusting to suit your preferences before serving.
Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container and generally use within 5–7 days for best flavor and texture.
