½ tsp cayenne pepper

½ tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, ketchup, horseradish, cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Stir until smooth and well-combined.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes
Adjust the heat by adding more cayenne pepper for a spicier sauce or reducing the horseradish for a milder version.
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free mayo and sour cream.
For a thicker sauce, add extra sour cream or reduce the amount of mayonnaise.
Fresh horseradish can be used, but use it sparingly as it is much spicier.
