Description

Tartar sauce is a creamy condiment that mixes mayonnaise, pickle relish, onion, lemon juice and mustard. It’s chilled before serving for enhanced flavors.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tbsp onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • salt and peper (to taste)
Instructions
  1. 1
    PREPARE THE BASE MIX
    In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of mayonnaise. Ensure the mayonnaise is at room temperature for easier mixing. Add 2 tablespoons of sweet pickle relish to the bowl. Finely chop one tablespoon of onion and add it to the mixture. Gently mix these ingredients, until evenly combined.
    Tip: For a smoother texture, mince the onion as finely as possible to avoid large chunks.
  2. 2
    ADD THE FLAVORINGS

    Squeeze 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice into the mixture, ensuring no seeds fall in. Add 1 teaspoon of mustard for a slight tang. Season the mix with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well distributed, creating a uniform texture.

    Tip: Taste the mixture at this stage and adjust the salt or pepper to your preference.
  3. 3
    CHILL THE SAUCE

    Transfer the prepared tartar sauce to an airtight container. Place the container in the refrigerator and allow the sauce to chill for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors meld and enhances the overall taste.

    Tip: If you have time, chilling the sauce for an hour will deepen the flavors even more.

    SERVE THE TARTAR SAUCE

    Once chilled, the tartar sauce a quick stir before serving. Use it as a dipping sauce for seafood, a spread for sandwiches, or an accompaniment for fries. Garnish with a small sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley (if desired).

    Tip: Serve the sauce cold for the best taste and texture. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days in an airtight container.
