This sauce offers a delightful balance of creamy, tangy, and sharp flavors that can brighten up a variety of dishes. The fresh citrus notes from the orange juice cut through the richness of the sour cream, creating a light and refreshing base. This is immediately followed by the complex heat of Dijon mustard and prepared horseradish, which adds a savory kick without being overpowering. The addition of fresh green onions provides a crisp texture and a mild onion flavor that ties everything together.
It is a versatile condiment that serves many purposes in the kitchen. It pairs beautifully with roasted beef or smoked fish, cutting through the heaviness of the meat. Alternatively, it works wonderfully as a unique dip for a crudité platter or a zest spread for sandwiches. Because it requires no cooking, it can be whipped up minutes before dinner is served, though allowing it to chill helps the flavors meld even further.
