Notes
- Makes 1 1/4 cups
- Instead of dill pickles, make tartar sauce with capers, bread & butter pickles, sweet pickles, or pickle relish.
- Prefer a smooth sauce? Put all the ingredients into a small food processor and process until no chunks remain.
- Like a little zing? Add a 1/2 teaspoon of Dijon mustard or hot sauce. A dash of ground red pepper is great too.
- Tartar sauce will thicken a bit when it's chilled. If you find that your tartar sauce turns out runny or too thin, try reducing the lemon juice next time. Make sure you always drain the pickles well. If it's still too thin, try adding a bit more mayonnaise.
