Scale
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp. prepared horseradish, drained well
- 1 garlic clove, finely grated
- 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish
- 1 pinch table salt
- 1 pinch black pepper, plus more for garnish
Instructions

Notes
- Store leftover horseradish aioli in an airtight container or mason jar for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
- It’s very important to drain off the vinegar in the prepared horseradish or the sauce will be too thin.
- You can also use cream-style horseradish for this recipe.
- Or, try using fresh horseradish. Be sure to peel it first then finely grate it. Taste it to determine how spicy it is, then add it to the mayonnaise and other ingredients.
- Serve horseradish cream sauce with steak, a roast, grilled chicken, fish, a sandwich, crispy potatoes, bread or vegetables.
- Feel free to use light mayonnaise, if desired.
