Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles, well drained
  • 2 tablespoons grated onion
  • 2 teaspoons dill pickle juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, finely chopped dill pickles, grated onion, dill pickle juice, and Dijon mustard until the mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth.
  2. Chill to Develop Flavor: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the tartar sauce for at least 1 hour. This resting period allows the flavors to blend and intensify, resulting in a more flavorful sauce.
  3. Store Properly: Keep the tartar sauce refrigerated and use within about 1 week to ensure freshness and taste.

Notes

  • Ensure the dill pickles are well drained to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
  • Adjust the amount of pickle juice to taste if you prefer a tangier sauce.
  • This tartar sauce pairs exceptionally well with fried or grilled fish, seafood, and also as a sandwich spread.
  • For a smoother texture, finely grate the onion rather than chopping.
