If you like Burger King's Zesty Sauce as much as I do, you are in for a treat! This recipe comes very close to the original with all of the creamy goodness you love including a burst of horseradish and the tang of a little ketchup and lemon juice. You have to give this a try with onion rings, french fries, and even on sandwiches!

The recipe below calls for horseradish (of course) and cayenne pepper. If you don't like heat, you should add these two ingredients a little at a time and taste often to make sure the flavor isn't overpowering for you. I would hate for you to make this delicious sauce and then dump it because your palate doesn't like as much spice as mine does.

• prepared horseradish - This is a creamy, white paste that is sold in a jar.
• white vinegar - This may be labeled distilled white vinegar.

• yellow mustard - This is the super cheap plain yellow mustard with no visible seeds.
• cayenne pepper - This may be labeled ground cayenne pepper.
• white sugar - This is a small amount of sugar and you will miss it if you leave it out, but you could substitute granulated monk fruit sweetener if you can't have the sugar.

Cook's tips

This is a very simple and straightforward recipe. All you have to do is mix everything up, cover it, and stick it in the fridge.

You might be tempted to skip the chilling period, and it will taste fine if you do. However, if you're able to plan ahead and make the dipping sauce the day before, it will be out of this world and quite possibly the best thing you've ever tasted.

Storing leftover onion ring dipping sauce

Keep your Zesty Sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It tastes best if it sits for a while after mixing, so I recommend making it the day before you need it and letting it sit in the fridge overnight. It will taste amazing.

You can keep your onion ring dipping sauce for about a week in the refrigerator. I do not recommend freezing it.
