tartar sauce recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup finely chopped dill pickles
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped pickles, red onion, and fresh dill.
2. Add the lemon juice and Dijon mustard. Stir until well combined.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.
4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

• For a smoother sauce, use a food processor to chop the pickles and onion before adding them to the bowl.
• If you don't have fresh dill, 1 teaspoon of dried dill can be used, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
• Store leftover tartar sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• This tartar sauce is best served chilled and is perfect with fried fish, seafood, or as a spread for sandwiches.
