Not only does this make a great green bean side dish  – but the fresh horseradish sauce is also fabulous served over blanched broccoli or asparagus …. and it makes an excellent light dip for crudites too!

Versatile!  That’s what it is… oh, so versatile and delicious.

Sounds soooo good. Could a lazy one use prepared horseradish

Besty, I’m sure you could use prepared horseradish, but I would not add it to the food processor, but instead stir in a little bit at a time once it is all blend, because I could not even guess on how much to tell you to add. Add to taste.
