Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. ketchup
  • 1 Tbsp. minced parsley
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1 tsp. prepared horseradish
  • 1/2 tsp. grated onion
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper

Tips & Substitutions

For a creamier texture, consider using a homemade mayonnaise or a vegan alternative. Fresh herbs like dill or chives can enhance the flavor profile, and you can adjust the horseradish for more or less heat according to your preference. If you’re short on time, store-bought dressing can work in a pinch, but homemade is always best for freshness.

Serving Suggestions

This dressing pairs beautifully with chilled seafood salad, making it a perfect complement to shrimp, crab, or lobster. It can also be served as a dip for fresh vegetables or drizzled over a garden salad. Consider serving it alongside dishes like Primo Pasta Salad for a delightful meal.

Storage & Reheating

Store any leftover Seafood Louis Dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about 3-5 days. If the dressing thickens in the fridge, you can stir in a little milk or water to reach your desired consistency without compromising flavor.
