This is really, really good. It's a lot like one my mom used to make years ago-- though this one seems to have a 'brighter' flavor-- which I like :) I used a previous reviewer's tip to salt and drain the sliced cukes before adding the dressing-- what a great tip! (In fact, I let my cukes drain overnight, since I was just making this for myself-- and I got tons of extra moisture out.) This is one for my 'go-to' recipe list-- thanks for posting it!!!

Crazy good! And so simple! Previously, my husband only liked 1 brand of jar sauce-- and then my local market stopped carrying it. I tried every other market in my area, but no luck-- so I decided to try to make my own. But even better than that, I made Al's :) I confess that I reduced the amount of horseradish b/c hubby doesn't love the kick as much as I do-- so I reduced it for him, divided the batch in half, and then added more to mine :) Thanks Al-- I need never buy cocktail sauce again!

I like it, but didn't love it. The flavors were a little too strong for me. That may have been because I scaled the recipe back to 1 portion only (my husband doesn't like fish), and I think it's difficult to keep the seasoning ratios intact-- so that may have been the problem.
