What is Arby’s Horsey Sauce?

As the name suggests, this sauce’s main ingredient is horseradish. This root vegetable is similar in taste to wasabi. Horsey sauce blends horseradish and mayonnaise into a creamy, zesty concoction that adds a spicy kick to sandwiches and burgers. Most popularly, Horsey Sauce is paired with roast beef sandwiches for an out-of-this-world flavor combo.

  • Mayonnaise: Use your favorite mayonnaise for this recipe. Vegan (egg-free) mayonnaise may be used if you prefer. You may also use sour cream for a healthier option.
  • Horseradish: It’s a root vegetable similar in appearance to ginger. If using fresh horseradish, you will need to grate the horseradish. Alternatively, you may purchase bottled horseradish paste or cream.
