Ingredients
- 200 g mayonnaise
- 1 cornichon (finely chopped) (approx 40 grams)
- ½ banana shallot (finely chopped)
- 20 g capers (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoon parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Dill (finely chopped)
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Start with preparing your vegetables and herbs. Finely dice the shallots and cornichon, and set them aside.
- Alternatively, blitz them in a food processor if you want them finer. Use the pulse function and avoid turning the vegetables into a mash.
- Chop the capers, parsley, and dill, and set them aside.
- Place the mayonnaise into a bowl and then add the shallots, cornichons, capers, herbs, lemon juice, and salt.
- Stir until everything is thoroughly combined.
- Check the seasoning and adjust it to your taste.
- Transfer it to a bowl and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop.

Notes
- After mixing all the ingredients together, let the tartar sauce sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the flavors a chance to meld together and develop a richer taste.
- If using a food processor to chop the ingredients, use the pulse function and avoid turning the vegetables into a mash.
- Avoid overmixing the mayonnaise as you might end up with a runny and messy tartar sauce. Whisk the ingredients gently, until all nicely combined.
- You can swap the normal mayonnaise with vegan mayo to make this delicious sauce vegan-friendly.
- After mixing all the ingredients together, let the tartar sauce sit for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will give the flavors a chance to meld together and develop a richer taste.
- Tartar Sauce would keep refrigerated in a glass jar or an airtight container for up to 7 days. I wouldn't advise freezing this sauce!
