Easy Homemade Tartar Sauce
Description
"Easy Homemade Tartar Sauce" combines mayonnaise and sour cream to form a creamy base that carries fresh dill and chopped dill pickles for distinct herb and pickle flavors. Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard add slight savory and sharp undertones while lemon juice brightens the mix with acidity. Salt and black pepper season and balance the flavors.
The flavors meld best after chilling in the refrigerator, allowing the sauce to develop a balanced tang and a smooth texture. This tartar sauce works well as a dipping condiment or accompaniment for fried or grilled seafood.
Storage advice recommends keeping the sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks, with caution if using homemade mayonnaise. The recipe notes also suggest substitutions such as using all mayonnaise if preferred, dried dill in place of fresh, or milder stone ground mustard for different flavor profiles.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon dill fresh
- 1/4 cup dill pickle chopped, approximately 1 pickle spear
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Mix: Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
- Chill: Cover bowl and place it in the fridge to chill.

Notes
- Chill the tartar sauce before serving to allow flavors to meld properly.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, depending on mayonnaise freshness.
- Sour cream can be replaced with additional mayonnaise for a less tangy taste.
- If fresh dill is unavailable, use one teaspoon of dried dill as a substitute.
- Dijon mustard can be swapped for milder stone ground mustard if preferred.
