Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon horseradish sauce
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
Directions
To serve more than one person, multiply all ingredient amounts by the number of servings needed.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, horseradish sauce, and sweet pickle relish. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for extra brightness and flavor.
Comments
Three shelf-stable pantry staples—horseradish sauce, mayonnaise, and pickle relish—are stocked at every major Charlotte grocer, so no special trips required. At roughly $0.25 per serving for the condiment itself, this is genuinely cheap and honest about its five-minute assembly time. The caveat is the single serving: this recipe yields perhaps a quarter-cup of sauce, ideal for one fish dinner but impractical if you're feeding a family or want leftovers to stretch the week. Make it ahead and refrigerate for a day or two without loss.
