Get ahead
This sauce can be made the night before, covered and popped into the fridge. - Tip
Love your leftovers: Leftover horseradish sauce will keep in the fridge, covered, for up to 2 days. Top bowls of veggie soup with spoonfuls of the sauce, spread it on bread when you’re making cold roast beef sandwiches, or whisk a spoonful with lemon juice and a splash of olive oil, then use to dress bitter, green salads.
