The Best blooming onion dipping sauce recipe

I have been making blooming onion dipping sauce for years now and it is always a hit in my house. My kids love it with homemade onion rings and even with regular fries. The sauce is creamy, tangy, and has just a little kick from the horseradish and hot sauce. It is so simple to throw together with ingredients I usually have on hand. This dipping sauce is perfect for game days, family dinners, or just a fun snack. It is also lighter than many store bought sauces because you control the ingredients and can use low fat mayo or Greek yogurt for a healthier version.
