Horseradish Sauce

Horseradish Sauce

Horseradish sauce is a creamy, pungent condiment made from grated horseradish root, vinegar, cream, and sometimes other flavorings such as mustard or sugar. It is commonly used to accompany roast beef, steak, sandwiches and other meats. Horseradish is potent and adds a spicy kick to dishes, which can be tempered with cream, mayonnaise or sour cream. The sauce is low in calories and fat, but high in sodium. It also contains vitamin C and fiber. However, the high sodium content may make it a less healthy choice for people with high blood pressure or heart disease.
