Notes

  • The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 2 tablespoons. Actual calories will vary.
  • Adjust the horseradish to your liking. If you're unsure how much you'd like to use, I recommend starting with 1 teaspoon and working up from there.
  • For a spicy cocktail sauce, add a few dashes of hot sauce.
