Homemade Tartar Sauce
Creamy, tangy, and loaded with fresh flavor, this tartar sauce is the perfect match for seafood. Quick to whip up and so much better than store-bought.
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
- ¼ cup dill pickle finely chopped (about 1 pickle spear)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Finely chop the fresh dill and dill pickle spear. The finer the chop, the smoother your sauce will be.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, chopped dill, chopped pickle, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Mix everything together with a whisk or spoon until the sauce is creamy and well blended.
- Cover and refrigerate the tartar sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- Stir once more before serving. Pairs perfectly with fried fish, shrimp, crab cakes, or crispy fries.
