Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup prepared horseradish
- 1 apple, grated
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Wash the apple thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue.
- Using a box grater or fine-hole grater, carefully grate the entire apple, including the skin. Immediately toss the grated apple with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the sour cream and prepared horseradish, stirring until well blended.
- Add the grated apple to the sour cream and horseradish mixture, folding gently to distribute evenly throughout the sauce.
- Season with salt to taste, starting with a small pinch and adjusting according to your preference.
- Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and chill.
- Before serving, give the sauce a quick stir to redistribute the ingredients and ensure a consistent texture.
- Serve chilled as a condiment for roasted meats, as a dip for vegetables, or as a spread for sandwiches.
Tips
- Choose a crisp, firm apple like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor profile.
- Grate the apple immediately before mixing to prevent oxidation and maintain freshness.
- Use fresh prepared horseradish for the most vibrant, zingy flavor.
- For a smoother consistency, you can pulse the grated apple in a food processor before adding.
- Let the sauce chill for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- Adjust the horseradish quantity to match your heat preference - start conservatively and add more if desired.
- This sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
