White Horseradish Sauce
The Backstory: What a funny name for a sauce. Nowhere does a horse have anything to do with this sauce. Radish does not need any explanation. The only logic that I can think of is when the radishes were harvested some farmer probably said, “Look at the size of the radishes! They are as big as a horse!” Okay, that is all I could come up with, but imagine if it was compared to a house or a barn…you get the picture. More of the Backstory after the recipe…
White Horseradish Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. white horseradish (from a jar) Golds Kosher brand horseradish can be substitued

Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Mix well. Check seasonings for taste. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve.
…The Backstory continues: But truth be told, as a small child, I would not taste horseradish because I thought that a horse actually had something to do with it.
This sauce is delicious with vegetables, salads, and of course, would be a wonderful accompaniment to gefilte fish.
