    Why You'll Love This Recipe

    This Sauce is super easy to whip up and a must-have if you make any sandwich at home! I'll also say if you ever order a Schlotzky's original sandwich, this is fantastic on that as well. But one of my favorites is to serve this homemade sauce on a Jucy Lucy Burger, or any burger for that matter.

    Ingredients

    Copycat Horsey Sauce ingredients labeled on a wooden table.

    All you'll need for this horsey sauce is mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, horseradish, and kosher salt. It takes about five minutes. (See expert tips)

    See the recipe card below for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    To prepare the sauce, put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk them together. I like transferring the sauce to a mason jar or squeeze bottle for easy storage and use.

    Mayonnaise being added to a small mixing bowl.

    Step 1: Add mayonnaise to a small bowl.

    Vinegar being poured into a mixing bowl with mayonnaise.

    Step 2: Pour in the white vinegar.

    Fresh horseradish being added to a vinegar and mayonnaise mixture in a mixing bowl.

    Step 3: Add the fresh horseradish.

    Sauce being whisked in a small mixing bowl.

    Step 4: Add the sugar and whisk the sauce until everything is fully incorporated.

    Once you have mixed all the ingredients and placed the sauce in a dish of your choice, stick it in the fridge to keep it cold for up to 4 days.

    Expert Tips

    • Be sure to use real horseradish and not horseradish sauce or creamed horseradish.
    • If you prefer horsey sauce a bit spicier with more of a kick, add more horseradish to taste.
    • I prefer putting my sauces in a squeeze bottle for easier use. But it can certainly be in a bowl and spooned out as well.
