Tartar Sauce
Homemade tartar sauce is significantly better than store-bought and is extremely simple to make. This recipe is just a matter of mixing mayonnaise with classic add-ins: diced pickles, capers, lemon juice, and dill. Letting the sauce sit for at least 30 minutes is the most important step, as it allows the flavors to meld.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup dill pickles finely diced
- 2 Tbsp capers finely chopped
- 2 tsp dried dill or 2 Tbsp fresh dill, minced
- 1 tsp dijon mustard
- 2-4 Tbsp lemon juice
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine mayonnaise, diced pickles, capers, dill, and dijon mustard in a medium bowl.
- Add 2 Tbsp lemon juice and stir until well mixed.
- Taste and adjust with additional lemon juice, salt, and pepper as needed.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to blend flavors.
Notes
Sauce will taste better after resting in the fridge.
