Easy Homemade Tartar Sauce (Print version)

Tangy homemade tartar sauce ready in 5 minutes with mayo, dill pickles, capers, and fresh lemon. Better than store-bought.

# Ingredients:

01 - 1/2 cup (115g) good-quality mayonnaise
02 - 3 tablespoons dill pickles, finely chopped
03 - 1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

06 - 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
07 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
08 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper

# Instructions:

01 - Dice the dill pickles and capers very finely so they distribute evenly. Chop the fresh dill. If using shallot, mince it now.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until completely smooth.
03 - Add the chopped pickles, capers, and dill to the bowl. Stir gently until evenly mixed. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
04 - Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving so the flavors can meld. Stir again just before bringing it to the table.

# Good to know:

01 - Best served chilled alongside fried fish or seafood.
02 - Stir before serving if it has been sitting.
