Cook's Tips

Make sure you buy prepared horseradish for this recipe as it is already grated and mixed with vinegar. If you can't find it, you can grate horseradish root yourself, but it will be much spicier!

For a milder horseradish aioli, you can start with less horseradish and add more to taste. Or you can use creamed horseradish sauce. If you want a really spicy horseradish aioli, add more horseradish to taste.

The chilling time in the fridge is very important as it allows the flavors to meld and develop. Do not skip this step!

Variations

For a vegan horseradish aioli, use vegan mayonnaise.

Add other types of herbs or spices to the horseradish aioli for more flavor. Try dill, smoked paprika, or even cayenne pepper!

Make a horseradish mustard aioli by adding Dijon mustard to taste.

You can give it even more heat by adding sriracha or hot sauce to taste.

Try roasting the garlic before cooling and adding to the sauce.
