Tartar Sauce

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 5 servings (1/2 cup + 2 tbsp)

Ingredients:

1 lemon, see note 1
1/2 cup mayo, see note 2
1-1/2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish or diced pickles—see note 3
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dijon-style mustard
Salt and Pepper

Directions:

1. Zest and juice a lemon to get 1/2 teaspoon zest and 2 tablespoons juice. Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I add 1/8 teaspoon of each). Mix well, taste, and adjust ingredients to your personal preference. Refrigerate sauce (covered) until ready to use. (The flavors will intensify as it sits.) Re-stir before using.

2. Enjoy your homemade Tartar Sauce with fish, fries, or any dish of your choice! Lots of ideas in the blog post!

Notes:

Note 1: I love zesting the lemon with a fine grater and then juicing with this citrus juicer.

Note 2: Use a good mayonnaise; the better the mayo, the better the sauce will taste. I love Hellman’s/Best Foods®. The full-fat version gives the sauce an incredibly rich, smooth flavor.

Note 3: Heinz® is my brand of choice for the sweet pickle relish. If you don’t want to use relish, finely dice bread-and-butter pickles instead!

Storage: Store Tartar Sauce in an airtight container in the fridge. It can be kept for up to 1 week. Before serving, give it a good stir to redistribute the ingredients, as the sauce may separate during storage. If it thickens too much during storage, thin it with a drizzle of lemon juice.

Tartar Sauce is a great sauce to make ahead of time. It only gets more flavorful as it sits.
