Over Pesach I always serve this horseradish dressing with gefilte fish.
Today’s inspirational recipe from Lavender and Lime ♥ Horseradish Dressing ♥ #LavenderAndLime Share on X
When we were in Wales I had the best horseradish sauce that I have ever tasted. I could eat horseradish raw and would do so if I could find this here where we live. In fact, I have only once seen horseradish in Somerset West. I took this photograph with my cell phone and used some of the horseradish that I bought to make chrain, a relish served traditionally with gefilte fish.

In Wales, my roast beef was served with horseradish sauce and it is the perfect accompaniment in my opinion! I so wanted to replicate the flavour of the horseradish when we got home and so I made this horseradish dressing. I used palm sugar as I am also busy experimenting with making sucrose free meringues and had grated a lot of palm sugar to use for that. You can use any sweetener of your choice. The store bought horseradish I have says ‘hot’ on the bottle but I find it to be still quite mild. My next aim is to try and grow my own horseradish, it I can just find some seeds.

What’s funny is that I’m not a big fan of wasabi but I love mustard and horseradish! Thanks for this recipe Tandy! 😀
That is so interesting. I love all three 🙂
I have grown horseradish – Tandy – a couple of words of warning it has a very long tap root. Secondly when I came to process it the fumes were so potent that even chopping it in the food processor didn’t protect me – the fumes given off are like mustard gas! I ended up not been able to use it, unfortunately, as I love horseradish and had been so excited about having my own home grown! Anyway good luck:) and maybe someone else will have some useful tips on processing it.
The fumes are amazing! I have been grating some fresh horseradish for another recipe as it is in season right now. I will keep the long tap root issue in mind when planting some 🙂
I am positive I have seen fresh horseradish here before – just can’t think where. I will keep my eyes open for you and for seed.
Have a lovely day Tandy.
🙂 Mandy xo
Pick ‘n Pay have it at the moment Mandy. And thank you for looking for seeds for me 🙂
Oh yum!
Indeed!
I love fresh horseradish although it’s very easy to underestimate its strength. To my surprise I have noticed that there a small bottles of freshly made horseradish sauce – Raifort – in the chiller section of our French supermarket.
I shall buy some next month when we are in France Roger 🙂
We all love hot horseradish too. My mum grows it so I will ask her about seeds & let you know!
Thank you Tanya, we looked while we were in the UK but maybe they were not in season 🙂
I’ve never thought to make my own horseradish dressing, but I love this idea!!
Thanks!
Horseradish really is delicious, isn’t it, Tandy? I’ve had it with roast beef many times and it’s hard to beat. I love the mix of hot and tangy. I’ve never heard of making a dressing with it but it’s a fabulous idea!
I can devour the sauce by the bottle load 🙂
I love the flavor of horseradish! This sauce sound like an amazingly flavorful marinade and dressing.
I must try it as a marinade Cindy 🙂
Your dressing looks lovely, anything to make salad taste better 😛
Cheers

Thanks Uru 🙂
Oh my goodness how great minds think alike!!! I have a recipe for something very similar sitting in my inbox just getting ready to post. I am going to do a link to yours as how fun is that!!!
Wow, I love how the blogasphere works 🙂
I have never had horseradish but it sounds really good! 😀
Thanks Anne 🙂
I think that this sauce will work pretty well with meat due to its distinctive taste. Good job, Tandy!

Hi Tandy, well, here in Buffalo, it’s tradition to eat your roast beef sandwich with horseradish, it’s just the way it is served and expected. Funnily enough, we made a special trip last night to buy horseradish as we were out..for the beef on wreck as it is called here.
I am salivating at the thought of beef on wreck Laura 🙂
That kick from the horseradish sounds so tasty!
It is indeed Joanne 🙂
I can smell how amazing it must be from here!
Thanks Pamela 🙂
I love horseradish but it doesn’t really grow here either. I enjoy it best of BBQ steak. Every two years we head to the Barossa Valley and I top up my supply of Zimmy’s Horseradish which I then add to sauces. I’ll keep this recipe handy for the next time I’m making some.
I have another recipe for your horseradish that I will post soon I hope 🙂
Never had horseradish with grilled steak before, sounds delicious…
It is Dedy 🙂
We love horseradish! I love to mash it into potatoes or eat it with cheese. Will try your recipe as we are flush in red potatoes right now.
I love it with cheese as well 🙂
The flavour of fresh horseradish or the japanese counterpart, fresh wasabi is so different! So spicy and such great kick! I tried fresh horseradish once from the farmer’s market- and used it in place of mustard for a sauce and it was really good. Love your dressing – yum!
I must use it more often Shu Han 🙂
I’m glad to know that I’m not the only lover of raw horseradish =)
Me too Angela!
Love that fresh horseradish!
Thank you Medha 🙂
Yum! I love horseradish too. I’ve learned that I can grow horseradish easily and well here, so I’m very excited to get some planted soon. 🙂
Let me know how well yours does Krista 🙂
I’m with you about liking horseradish. I’ve got tarragon in my garden and I’ll be trying your sauce…it sounds good.
Thank you Karen, and enjoy your tarragon 🙂
I made your delicious recipe & loved it so much! My Peter agreed with me! xx
That is so good to hear Sophie 🙂
I was talking with Mom the other day about what we would put in our veggie patch this year and horseradish made the list. Love me a horseradish too. Great recipe, cant wait to whip up a batch. 🙂
Hope your horseradish grows in abundance Anna 🙂
