Cajun - Creole Tartar Sauce image

My family loves a bit of sauce on the side of fish dishes. The cajun spice along with dijon mustard is especially tasty. When I cook for the family, I cut the sauce recipes in half. I don't want leftovers. We like ours fresh.

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh herbs, spices, and vegetables will make a big difference.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Add a little bit of spice, sweetness, or acidity to taste.
Make sure to chop the ingredients finely so that they will distribute evenly throughout the sauce.
If you are using mayonnaise, make sure it is at room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the sauce from curdling.
Serve the sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
