Ingredients

¾ cupsour cream, full-fat preferred
2 tbspprepared horseradish, well-drained
2 tbspmayonnaise, good quality
1½ tbsplemon juice, freshly squeezed
2 tspDijon mustard
½ tspfine sea salt
¼ tspblack pepper, freshly ground
2 tspfresh chives, finely chopped

Instructions

Fold together the sour cream, drained horseradish, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Use a gentle hand — you want everything evenly distributed without overworking the mixture, which can make it thin out.
Press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming, then refrigerate for at least an hour. This resting time lets the horseradish heat develop and all the flavors marry into something cohesive and bright.
