Instructions
This is such an easy veggie dip recipe to make. It takes 5 minutes to put together and uses only 1 bowl. But I recommend making this dip the day before you want to serve it for best flavor.
1. To make it, whisk or mix together the vegan mayo, vegan sour cream, garlic, horseradish, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Serve with your favorite fresh vegetables. Or use as a sandwich spread.
Expert Tips
- The longer this sits in the fridge, the better it tastes. For best results, make this dip the day before you are serving it.
- Do not use Sir Kensington's vegan mayo. It imparts a strange flavor and ruins the dip. I highly recommend Hellmann's vegan mayo.
Storage Tips
Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This tastes best after several hours in the fridge.
What Is Horseradish?
The horseradish is what really makes this dip. But what is horseradish? It's a spicy root vegetable. Not surprisingly, it's part of the mustard family and also related to wasabi. You can find ground horseradish in a jar from the refrigerated section of the grocery store.
Recipe FAQs
I do not recommend freezing this recipe. When thawed the texture would get weird.
I love using it on a sandwich or even on top of a vegan burger. It's delicious on anything. It can also be used as a dip for chips.
