No trip to Outback Steakhouse is complete without an order or two of Bloomin Onions. The legendary Bloomin Onion dip sauce turns the famous appetizer from a fancy-looking onion ring into a culinary delight. The good news is that you probably already have most of the ingredients in your cupboard to whip up your own Outback Bloomin Onion sauce.
The Outback Bloomin Onion Sauce’s Secret
The Bloomin Onion dip sauce packs a bit more of a kick than most other condiments, thanks to horseradish.
This root, with a pungent and spicy taste similar to wasabi, gives the sauce its nose-clearing ability.
Most supermarkets stock horseradish pre-shredded and preserved in a jar, but fresh horseradish is particularly flavorful. If using fresh, you may want to reduce the quantity slightly.
What Goes Well With Outback Bloomin Onion Sauce?
This sauce is not limited to onion rings or petals; it’s versatile and works well with fried vegetables, breaded shrimp, chicken tenders, tater tots, mozzarella sticks, and even as a condiment for hamburgers, chicken, and salmon.
