Did you know that Arby’s offers 11 different sauces?
The most popular of these, of course, is the Arby’s Sauce and the Horsey Sauce, both of which I put on everything I order from Arby’s.
Now, you could just swipe a handful of sauce packages and hide them in a kitchen drawer until you’re ready for them, but assuming we’ve all already done that, let’s try to make our own from scratch.
Arby’s Horsey Sauce is a creamy sauce with a toned-down horseradish taste, so it’s both sharp and mild – which is why it goes well with the Arby’s sauce. With both sauce recipes, you’ll be all set. You can even use them on regular sandwiches, sliders, or hamburgers.
This recipe yields a creamy version of the Horsey Sauce with a bit of texture, some heat, and a little bit of sweetness. It’s best if you make it ahead of time and let it rest in the refrigerator before serving. It’s even better if you let it rest overnight. Even better, you don’t need those little sauce packages anymore. You’ll be able to whip up Horsey Sauce any time you want it.

History or Arby’s Horsey sauce
The name “Horsey” is because of the main ingredient: horseradish.
Traditionally, horseradish has been the sophisticated companion to beef dishes, often reserved for fine dining experiences. Arby’s adapted this upscale ingredient for the fast-food realm. Add mayo and sugar to horseradish and voila – you have a sauce that refined its rich flavour while being perfectly suitable for a fast food menu.
The sauce was introduced shortly after Arby’s was founded in 1964, and it quickly became very popular.
The sauce is creamy and tangy, with a subtle kick from the horseradish. It goes great with Arby’s meats.
