Tips and Variations:
- Replace vinegar with same amount of fresh lemon juice for variation.
- Do not grate horseradish in advance; grate it just before you are ready to start the preparation. It should be mixed with vinegar immediately after grating. Once grated, if not used immediately or mixed in vinegar, the root starts to darken and loses its pungency and becomes unpleasantly bitter.
Taste: Creamy, sour and mild spicy.
