Homemade Tartar Sauce
Description
The Homemade Tartar Sauce combines real mayonnaise with chopped capers that add a briny tang and fresh dill that contributes herbal brightness. Dried onion flakes give mild onion flavor without crunch, while lemon juice and zest add acidity and freshness. Mixing the ingredients and chilling the sauce before use allows the flavors to meld and develop balance.
This sauce serves well as a dip or spread for fish dishes, fried seafood, or sandwiches. The creamy texture contrasts nicely with crisp fried textures or mild, flaky fish. Adjusting capers or dill can tailor the strength of tang and herb notes. Adding a dash of hot sauce can add subtle heat if desired.
Store the sauce in a glass jar with a lid, preferably a half-pint sized container. Serve chilled for the best flavor and texture, and taste before serving to adjust seasoning.

- 1 cup mayonnaise real
- 2 tablespoon capers chopped
- 1 tablespoon dill chopped, fresh
- 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes or onion powder
- ½ lemon juice and zest
Instructions

Notes
- Best served chilled after refrigerating for at least an hour to allow flavors to develop.

- Optionally add a dash of hot sauce like Tabasco for a spicy kick.
