How to Make Applesauce Horseradish Sauce

  1. Peel and grate the apple.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the grated apple, prepared horseradish, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
  3. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more horseradish for extra spice or more apple cider vinegar for extra tang.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
