Notes
- Pickles: Chop the pickles finely so you get little bits in every bite. You can also substitute the pickles and juice for ½ cup of pickle relish.
- Serving Size: 1 tablespoon of sauce equals 1 serving.
- To Store:Keep homemade tartar sauce for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Avoid freezing as it will separate upon thawing.
- Prep-ahead: The sauce tastes best when it is allowed to rest for at least 30 minutes, so plan to make it ahead of time for the best flavor.
