150kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon horseradish adjust for spice level
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of salt
Equipment
- medium-sized mixing bowl
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Spoon or whisk for stirring
- Airtight container (for storing)
- Refrigerator (for chilling)
Method
- Combine the Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of horseradish, ½ teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Adjust the Flavor: Taste the sauce and adjust the spice level if needed. If you prefer a milder sauce, reduce the amount of horseradish. For more heat, add extra horseradish or cayenne pepper.
- Chill the Sauce: Refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes before serving. This resting time allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly, enhancing its taste.
- Serve: After chilling, serve the dipping sauce with a Blooming Onion, fried foods, or even as a dip for fries, chicken tenders, or grilled meats.
Notes
- Storage: Store the leftover dipping sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Adjust Spice: Horseradish provides the main heat in this sauce, so adjust the quantity based on your desired spice level. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for additional heat.
- Versatility: While perfect for the Blooming Onion, this sauce also pairs well with fried snacks, chicken wings, burgers, and grilled meats.
