Easy Tartar Sauce
This easy tartar sauce is creamy, tangy and full of fresh flavor. It’s perfect with seafood, fries or sandwiches and takes just minutes to make.
Servings: 1.75 cups
Ingredients
- 1 Cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons sweet pickle relish
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice fresh
- 3 Tablespoons onion finely minced
- 2 Teaspoons dill freshly minced
- 2 Teaspoons parsley freshly minced
- salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and whisk until well mixed.
- Taste the tartar sauce and adjust the seasonings.
- Add more lemon juice for more tartness and acidity, more sweet pickle relish for more sweetness, or more mayonnaise if the flavors are too bold.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- If time, cover and chill for at least half a hour so the flavors can meld together.
- Serve garnished with fresh herbs, if liked.
Notes
Mince ingredients finely: Finely chopping the onions and herbs ensures a smooth, even texture.
Taste as you go: Small adjustments to lemon juice or relish can make a big difference.
Let it rest: If you have time, let the sauce chill so the flavors meld together. I like to give it at least an hour in the refrigerator before serving.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh dill and parsley give the best flavor and texture.
