Homemade Tartar Sauce
Description
This tartar sauce recipe mixes mayonnaise with finely minced dill pickles and fresh dill, giving it a herbaceous and tangy complexity. Lemon juice adds brightness and acidity, while onion powder provides a subtle savory background. The ingredients are simply stirred together and refrigerated to meld the flavors, though it can be served right away.
The sauce has a smooth, creamy texture with small pieces of pickles and dill offering occasional bursts of flavor. It complements fried or grilled fish well, enhancing the dish with freshness and a balance of creamy and tangy elements.
Chilling the sauce for at least 30 minutes deepens the flavors, but it keeps well for up to 10 days when stored in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup dill pickles minced
- 1 tablespoon dill minced fresh
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a small mixing bowl and stir well to combine.
- Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or more before serving.
- Store, tightly covered and refrigerated, for up to 10 days.
Notes
- Allow the tartar sauce to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to develop richer flavors before serving.
- The sauce can be served immediately if needed but flavor improves with resting time.
- Store the sauce covered and refrigerated for up to 10 days.
