McDonald's Tartar Sauce Copycat

This McDonald’s Tartar Sauce Copycat is my favorite when I want that creamy and tangy flavor without leaving the house. It takes just 5 minutes and uses simple ingredients like mayonnaise, pickle relish, and onion. I love knowing exactly what’s in it, and it tastes great on fish sandwiches or fries.

Instructions

  1. First, add the mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of pickle relish, the capers, 1 tablespoon of diced onion, parsley, and sugar into a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth.
  2. After that, mix in the remaining 2 tablespoons of pickle relish and 1 tablespoon of onion until well combined. Season with salt to taste.
  3. Transfer the sauce to a jar and cover, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Draining the pickle relish is something I always do before mixing up this tartar sauce. It keeps the texture thick and creamy, just the way I like it. Taking that extra minute to press out the liquid really makes the final sauce smooth and perfectly balanced.
  • If the sauce turns out too thick, I just stir in a teaspoon of milk or cream. It loosens it up without changing the flavor.
  • I always use dill pickle relish for this recipe. Sweet relish makes the sauce too sugary, especially for a fish sandwich.
  • When I don’t feel like using a food processor, I mash the capers and relish with a fork. It might take a little longer, but cleanup is a lot easier.
  • I like to make a bigger batch and let it chill overnight. The flavor gets even better the longer it sits in the fridge.
