1–2 tablespoons horseradish, depending on preferred heat level
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay or favorite seafood seasoning, plus additional for garnish
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Dash of hot sauce to taste
Kosher salt to taste
2 tablespoons green onions chopped, plus additional for garnish
Garnishes such as chopped pickles, pepperonici, bacon, or pickled jalapenos
2 tablespoons
Instructions
Add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and tomato paste to a bowl and mix until smooth and combined.
Add the Worcestershire, lemon juice and zest, 1 Tbsp horseradish, splash of hot sauce, seafood seasoning, garlic powder, green onions, and a pinch of salt. Mix to combine.
Taste, and add additional seasoning if needed, including another tablespoon of horseradish.
For best flavor and texture let refrigerate for an hour prior to serving.
To serve, garnish with your favorite Bloody Mary accents, and an additional sprinkle of seafood seasoning.
Notes
Because many of the ingredients in this dip are salty such as Worcestershire and horseradish, you may not want to add a lot of salt to begin with, especially if using salty dippers like salami and pickles. You can always add more, or another shake of Worcestershire, but you can’t take it out.
