Ingredients
- ¾ cup Mayonnaise shelf-stable, good quality
- 2 tablespoons Dill Pickles finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon White or Yellow Onion minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Dill Pickle Brine from the jar
- 1 teaspoon fresh Dill finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- ¼ teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- ¼ teaspoon Salt plus extra at the end if needed
- ⅛ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ⅛ teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
- Add the mayonnaise, pickles, onion, lemon juice, pickle brine, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to a medium jar or bowl.
- Stir vigorously until well blended. Taste and add extra salt if needed. For reference, we did not add any extra to ours.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop. Stir well before each use.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. Give it a good stir before serving.
- A jar with a tight-fitting lid works great for mixing and storing this tartar sauce.
- Finely chop the pickles and onion so they blend evenly into the sauce.
- If you don't have fresh dill, substitute ½ teaspoon dried dill weed.
