Burger King Zesty Sauce Recipe
That creamy, tangy sauce from Burger King is the reason onion rings taste so good (well, I think so anyway!).The heat from horseradish is what gives it that recognizable kick, but too much can overpower everything else.I like to mix in just a little extra lemon juice to brighten it up—it keeps the sauce from feeling too heavy.A touch of smoked paprika and cayenne rounds it out with just enough warmth without making it overly spicy.After mixing, let it sit in the fridge for a while. It thickens slightly, and the flavors balance out so every dip has the right punch of heat and creaminess.
