Simple Tartar Sauce
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish or 1 tablespoon finely chopped dill pickle
- 1 tablespoon minced onion
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (optional)
- salt and pepper
- 1.
- In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, and minced onion.
- Stir in lemon juice.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
- My Tip's: I've made it per instructed and at times I modifications.
- I prefer to use dehydrated "Real-Lemon" powder instead of lemon juice (it makes it less runny) and I double pickles (at least) but drain them on paper towel first, again so that it is not runny.
- I have also used horseradish instead of onion which gives it a different, but not unpleasant, taste.
- Leaving it to marry in the fridge is advised as it really brings the flavors together.This makes a yummy sauce for boiled shrimp or seared scallops.
- I strongly recommend preparing this in advance, letting it sit in the fridge overnight makes a big difference.
- Thought it tasted too much like mayo at first, but the next day, it was perfect!
- Plus, if you make too much, it's good for at least another 2 weeks or so, as long as you keep it refridgerated.
