Tartar Sauce 🐟🥄
Tartar sauce is a creamy, tangy condiment most often served with fried seafood like fish, shrimp, or crab cakes. It’s easy to make at home and can be customized to your taste.

- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp finely chopped pickles or dill relish
- 1 tsp Dijon or yellow mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice (fresh is best)

- 1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
👩🍳 Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped pickles, mustard, and lemon juice.
- Add capers and parsley if using.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld.
🌟 Tips
- For extra tang, add a little finely chopped onion or shallot.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter version.
- Can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.
