Description

Outback’s signature Blooming Onion Sauce elevates classic appetizer dips with zesty, creamy flavors. Spicy mayo-based condiment delivers restaurant-quality taste you can easily recreate at home.


Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish

Seasonings:

  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Whisk mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, paprika, salt, and garlic powder in a medium mixing bowl until the mixture transforms into a uniform, creamy consistency.
  2. Seal the bowl with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator, allowing the sauce to rest and develop enhanced flavors for a minimum of 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the sauce from the refrigerator, give it a thorough stir to reintegrate any separated ingredients, and serve chilled alongside your blooming onion or preferred dipping item.

Notes

  • Boost sauce flavor by letting it rest in the fridge, which allows spices and ingredients to blend deeply and create a more complex taste profile.
  • Customize heat levels by adjusting hot sauce or adding cayenne pepper for those who enjoy extra kick in their dipping sauce.
  • Ensure smooth texture by whisking ingredients thoroughly and using room temperature mayonnaise, which helps prevent lumpy consistency.
  • Make ahead option works perfectly since sauce actually improves when refrigerated, developing richer taste over several hours before serving.
