Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp ketchup
2 tbsp prepared horseradish
1 tsp paprika
1 tbsp hot sauce or to taste
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp lemon juice optional, for added brightness

Equipment

Medium mixing bowl
Spoon or whisk for mixing
Measuring spoons
Airtight container (for storage)

Method

Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of mayonnaise and 2 tablespoons of ketchup. Stir until smooth.
Add Flavoring: Add 2 tablespoons of prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 tablespoon of hot sauce, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
Season: Add salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a tangier sauce, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Stir everything until smooth and evenly mixed.
Refrigerate: Cover the bowl and place the sauce in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
Serve: Once chilled, serve the sauce with your favorite fried foods like Blooming Onion, chicken tenders, shrimp, or French fries.

Notes

Adjust Spice Level: You can adjust the heat by increasing or decreasing the amount of hot sauce and horseradish based on your taste preference.
Storage: Store the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week. The flavor improves over time as the ingredients meld together.
Customization: Feel free to add extra seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or even a dash of smoked paprika for added depth.
Alternative Ingredients: For a lighter version, you can substitute the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a lower-fat mayonnaise.
