HORSERADISH+ APPLES

Three More Delicious Recipes

1. Spiked mashed sweet potatoes: Simmer 1 lb peeled, cubed sweet potatoes in boiling water for 10 minutes.

Add 2 large, cored, chopped Fuji or Pink Lady apples and cook another 10 minutes.

Drain and add ½ tsp salt and 2 Tbsp each prepared horseradish and unsalted butter; mash until chunky.

2. Fruity slaw: Whisk together

½ cup light sour cream,

¼ cup light mayonnaise
,

3 Tbsp prepared horseradish,

2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar,

1 tsp agave nectar, and ¼ tsp each salt and pepper in a bowl.

Toss with 2 cored, shredded Granny Smith apples, 2½ cups peeled, shredded carrots,

¼ cup sliced scallions, and

2 Tbsp golden raisins.

3. Creamy sauce for fish:

Whisk together 1 cup nonfat Greek yogurt,

1 finely diced large Granny Smith apple,

2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp each olive oil and prepared horseradish, 1 tsp chopped thyme, and ¼ tsp each salt and freshly ground pepper. Serve atop baked trout or haddock fillets.

An odd pairing? Not at all: The sweet fruit tempers the peppery condiment, leaving just enough kick to elevate everyday dishes to special-occasion status.

But with these so-easy recipes, you can serve them any night!
