This Outback Bloomin’ Onion Sauce is the creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy dipping sauce that perfectly complements crispy fried onions (or anything else you love to dunk!). Here’s how to make the ultimate copycat version at home:
Bloomin’ Onion Sauce (Outback Copycat)
Makes about 1 ¼ cups
Ingredients:
-
½ cup (120g) mayonnaise
-
½ cup (120g) sour cream
-
3 tbsp ketchup
-
2 tbsp prepared horseradish (not creamy horseradish sauce—just plain horseradish)
-
1 tsp paprika (smoked or sweet, your choice)
-
½ tsp kosher salt (or ¼ tsp table salt)
-
1 tsp granulated garlic (or garlic powder)
-
½ tsp dried oregano
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
¼ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat preference)
Instructions:
-
Mix it up:
-
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and ketchup until smooth.
-
Stir in horseradish, paprika, salt, garlic, oregano, black pepper, and cayenne.
-
-
Chill & serve:
-
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 3 days) to let flavors meld.

Taste and adjust seasoning—add more horseradish for kick or a pinch of sugar if too tangy.

Tips for the Best Sauce:
✔ Use real horseradish (not the creamy sauce) for authentic heat.
✔ For extra depth, add ½ tsp onion powder or a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
✔ Make it ahead! The flavor gets better after a few hours in the fridge.
Serving Ideas:
🌰 Perfect with Bloomin’ Onion, onion rings, or fried zucchini.
🍟 Great as a burger spread, fry dip, or sandwich sauce.
🔥 Spice it up with extra cayenne or a dash of hot sauce!
Enjoy your Outback-inspired dipping sauce—no restaurant trip needed!
