Amount Unit Name Notes

1 cup Mayonnaise Full-fat for best texture

2 tbsp Sweet pickle relish Adds sweetness

1 tbsp Dill pickles Finely chopped

1 tsp Lemon juice Fresh preferred

1 tsp Dijon mustard Adds tangy flavor

2 tbsp Onion Finely minced

1 tsp White vinegar Enhances acidity

½ tsp Sugar Balances flavors

¼ tsp Salt Adjust to taste

¼ tsp Black pepper Freshly ground

Step 1

I start by placing mayonnaise in a medium mixing bowl. This creates the creamy base for the tartar sauce.

Step 2

Next, I mix in the sweet pickle relish and chopped dill pickles. This adds both texture and tangy flavor.

Step 3

Then I add Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and white vinegar. These ingredients brighten the sauce and balance the richness of the mayonnaise.

Step 4

After that, I stir in the minced onion along with the sugar, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Step 6

Finally, I cover the bowl and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes so the flavors blend together nicely.

I always recommend using fresh lemon juice because it gives the sauce a brighter flavor.
Letting the sauce chill for at least 30 minutes makes the taste much better.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
