Tartar Sauce Recipe

Make your fish and chips or seafood dishes shine with this tangy and refreshing Tartar Sauce Recipe! With a creamy base and a burst of fresh herbs, this sauce is a perfect accompaniment to your favorite seafood dishes.

It’s easy to make ahead of time and stores nicely in the fridge for up to a week.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the mayonnaise, parsley, dill, chives, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and horseradish.

Mix all the ingredients together until they’re well combined and you have a smooth sauce.

Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper as needed to get the flavor just right.

You can always add more, but it’s harder to remove excess salt and pepper, so start with a small amount and adjust to taste.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

This will help the sauce to thicken and the flavors to intensify.

Once the sauce has chilled, give it a good stir and it’s ready to serve.

You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, use Greek yogurt or sour cream to replace some of the mayonnaise.

Fresh herbs make a huge difference in flavor, so try to use them if possible.

If you don’t have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs but reduce the amount used.

Adjust the amount of horseradish to your desired level of spiciness.

This sauce is great with fish, seafood, and even as a dip for vegetables.

You can also customize it to your taste by adding other ingredients like grated onion, capers, or minced garlic.

If you’re making the sauce ahead of time, wait to add the salt and pepper until just before serving, as the flavors will meld together over time.
