Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish (drained)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (or more, to taste)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine the ketchup, prepared horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce in a small bowl.
- Stir all ingredients together until completely mixed.
- Taste the sauce. Add a pinch of salt if needed.
- If you prefer a stronger horseradish flavor or more heat, add more horseradish or hot sauce, one half teaspoon at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Cover the sauce and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Notes
- For a smoother sauce, use creamy horseradish instead of prepared white horseradish, but the flavor will be milder.
- This sauce tastes best when made at least one hour ahead of serving.
- You can substitute the lemon juice with lime juice for a slightly different tang.
