Tangy (Not Sweet) Tartar Sauce image

This the tartar sauce my mom made growing up, no sweet relish here! The pickle juice replaces lemon juice for acidity and tang. So simple and worth the little bit of time. (I don't like sweet pickles in my potato salad either!)

TANGY TARTAR SAUCE (MADE WITH DILL PICKLES, NOT SWEET)



Tangy Tartar Sauce (Made With Dill Pickles, Not Sweet) image

This tartar sauce is made with dill pickles, or dill pickle relish, instead of sweet pickle relish, as is common with many other recipes. The flavor is bright and fresh, without being overly sweet. I make it with Best Foods/Hellmans light mayo, so it is not too heavy of a condiment, and the kids can have a good portion without turning their healthy baked fish into an unhealthy meal.

Categories     Low Protein

Time 25m

Yield 1 Cup, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 small shallot, minced (about 1 tablespoon)
2 tablespoons drained capers, minced
2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand to blend flavors, about 15 minutes. Stir again before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh dill pickles for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh dill pickles, you can use store-bought dill pickle relish, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Chop the pickles finely so that they distribute evenly throughout the sauce.
  • Use mayonnaise that is at room temperature. This will make it easier to mix and will help the sauce to be smooth.
  • Add the ingredients to the blender in the order listed. This will help to prevent the sauce from becoming too thick.
  • Blend the sauce until it is smooth and creamy. Do not over-blend, or the sauce will become too thick.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as desired. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice.
  • Serve the sauce immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Tangy tartar sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used with a variety of dishes. It is especially good with fried fish, seafood, and chicken. The dill pickles give the sauce a unique flavor that is both tangy and refreshing. This tartar sauce is easy to make and can be adjusted to suit your own taste preferences.
