Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 stalk celery, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped cornichons (or sour pickles)
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

salt & freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine celery, cornichons, horseradish, parsley, mustard, mayonnaise and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with fish.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh herbs and spices.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • If you don't have capers, you can substitute chopped pickles or olives.
  • If you don't have mayonnaise, you can make your own by blending together eggs, oil, lemon juice, and salt.
  • To make a vegan tartar sauce, use vegan mayonnaise and replace the eggs with aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas).
  • Tartar sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Tartar sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes, including fish, chicken, and vegetables. It is also a great dipping sauce for chips and crackers. With its creamy, tangy flavor, tartar sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
