Horseradish Aioli
Horseradish aioli is a fiery, tangy, yet creamy delight. It combines the creaminess of mayonnaise with the tangy and fiery taste of horseradish with other flavors like lemon juice and garlic to marry the flavors.
Homemade Horseradish Mayo is set to be your new favorite condiment. Add it to burgers, and sandwiches or drizzle it over some cooked vegetables, any way you serve it, it shines.
Why I Make This Horseradish Aioli Recipe
I often make this recipe to pair with simple roasted vegetable sides like Brussels sprouts, Cabbage, or Carrots. It is a great way to brighten up these veggies during the colder months when produce is sparse.
I also enjoy making this recipe to elevate sandwiches and wraps. Pair this with 2 slices of thick sourdough bread, a couple of slices of deli turkey, sharp cheddar cheese, a big handful of fresh spinach leaves or arugula, and a pinch of fresh cracked pepper for an upgraded Turkey and Cheese sandwich.
