Homemade Tartar Sauce Recipe
Prep 5 min Cook 5 min Serves 6 Source

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I love Duke’s Mayo for my recipe)
  • 1 tablespoon mustard (My favorite is Creole, then Spicy Brown, then Dijon mustard)
  • 1 small dill pickle (finely chopped (you can also use pickle relish – try pickled peppers for a spicy spin))
  • 1 tablespoon capers (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dill (fresh or dried)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for a Creole spin - use paprika for milder)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

  1. 1

    Mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper, cayenne, and lemon.

  2. 2

    Cover and refrigerate 1 hour to let the flavors develop. Best used within 1 day.
