Ingredients
Method
- In a small mixing bowl, combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish, 1 tablespoon minced white onion, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon dried dill. Stir gently until all ingredients are just combined.
- Season the mixture with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Taste and add more seasoning if desired.
- If using, add 3 to 4 dashes of Tabasco sauce. Stir for 15 seconds to ensure it's fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
- For the freshest taste, mince your onion very finely to ensure it blends smoothly into the sauce without large, crunchy bits.
- Adjust the lemon juice and salt to your personal preference; some prefer a tangier sauce, others milder. Taste as you go!
- If you prefer a bit of a kick, don't shy away from adding extra dashes of Tabasco. I've found that sometimes a little extra heat really brings out the other flavors, especially with richer fried fish.
- Store leftover tartar sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Stir well before serving again. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
