The Best Quick & Easy Cocktail Sauce - Great with oysters on the half shell too!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've used this recipe forever - it's the best and easy to make last minute. Don't skimp on the FRESH lemon juice (no... substitute). Make it fresh & don't store for more than a day or two in the fridge. Any longer & it takes on a 'congealed" consistency we don't like. Read more

Wonderful - All my guests love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was fantastic. Not being a lover of horseradish, I could use just one tablespoon of it and it made it perfect... for me and my guests. Have copied the recipe 3 times for friends and family. Thanks, Ina. I trying your Eggplant Gratin next!Read more
