Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, finely chopped parsley, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined and the sauce is smooth and evenly mixed.
  2. Serve or Store: The tartar sauce can be served immediately as a condiment or dip. Alternatively, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days to allow flavors to meld and for convenient use later.

Notes

  • Adjust lemon juice to taste for more tanginess.
  • This sauce is best served chilled and complements fried or grilled seafood perfectly.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within 4 days for freshness and safety.
