Tool

• Bowl

• Whisk

Ingredients

• ½ cup sour cream

• ¼ cup mayonnaise

• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

• 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives

• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Direction

1. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, horseradish, chives, mustard, salt, and pepper.

2. Whisk until fully combined.

3. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Notes

• Stir, don’t whip: Whisk gently to avoid incorporating excess air, which affects the creamy texture.

• Adjust heat: Add more or less horseradish depending on your preferred spice level.

• Flavor develops: Chill for at least 1 hour for deeper flavor; overnight is even better.

• Thin if needed: Add water or heavy cream, 1 teaspoon at a time, for a drizzle‑friendly consistency.

• Optional variations: Add lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for brightness, smoked paprika for depth, capers for brininess, or hot sauce for extra heat.
