Horseradish Sauce for Gluten-Free Crab Cakes
While these crab cakes are fantastic on their own - maybe with a little lemon squeezed over them! - the horseradish sauce really kicks it up a bit!
This is super easy to make and only has 3 ingredients. You'll want to make it at least an hour ahead, though - it really benefits from letting the ingredients mingle for a while!
Horseradish Sauce
½ cup sour cream
2 tablespoon mayonnaise
2 tablespoon+ prepared horseradish
Whisk together until well blended, chill for 1 hour. Taste, add more horseradish if you'd like more bite.
