Tartar Sauce
Homemade tartar sauce is so easy to make with simple ingredients! This tangy and rich sauce tastes delicious with fish and other seafood.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 Tbsp relish
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped dill pickles
- 1/8 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 1 tsp dill fresh or frozen
- 1/2 Tbsp dijon mustard (optional)
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.
- Adjust seasoning and add more relish or lemon juice if desired
Notes
- This recipe can easily be doubled! Use the slider in the recipe card to change the number of servings.
- If you don't have fresh dill, (freeze) dried or frozen dill work well too! Use 1/4 tsp dried dill or 1 tsp of fresh or frozen dill.
- Feel free to add more chopped dill pickles for a chunkier sauce.
- If you prefer a smoother, less chunky sauce, chop the pickles finely or chop them up in a food processor.
- You can make tartar sauce with capers if you like them. Just add about 1 Tbsp or more of chopped capers to the sauce for an extra flavor punch.
- To make the sauce not as rich, use 1/2 Greek yogurt and 1/2 mayonnaise. I also like to use olive oil mayonnaise for a lighter taste.
- To make vegan tartar sauce, use vegan mayonnaise. Store-bought relish is usually vegan, but make sure to check the ingredients for honey.
- This sauce stays fresh in an airtight container in the fridge for about 1 week. Give it a stir before serving it.
