    Instructions

    1. Take a bowl and add mayonnaise, dill weed, pickle, and lemon juice. Whisk to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
    1. Add the seasonings and adjust the taste according to your preference.
    1. Cover the sauce using plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for an hour.
    1. Serve the sauce in a serving bowl. Make sure to give it a quick stir before you serve.

    Substitutions

    • Mayonnaise — Mayonnaise gives this sauce a thick consistency and a tangy flavor which everyone loves. If you’ve run out of mayo, you can use sour cream, Greek yogurt, mustard, and for a healthier option you can even go for hummus. The taste may vary with these substitutes, so I would recommend you use mayonnaise to have the same authentic taste of Captain D’s tartar sauce.
    • Lemon juice — Lemon juice gives this sauce a burst of freshness with every dip and has a great citrusy flavor. If you are in the mood for experimenting, you can opt for vinegar which will give added tartness to the sauce.
    • Dill weed — Dill weed has an earthy flavor and is famously used for sea foods. In case you don't have it, then you can use other herbs like parsley, rosemary, thyme, and basil.

    Variations

    • Spicy flavor — Try adding diced jalapenos to the sauce for an extra spicy taste.
    • Sweet flavor — To have a sweet-flavored tartar sauce, try adding honey mustard.

    Equipment

    • Mixing bowl
    • Whisk
    • Plastic wrap
    • Serving bowl

    Storage

    • Instead of lemon juice, add apple cider vinegar and store the sauce in an airtight container in the freezer. This will increase the shelf life of the sauce for up to 2 weeks.

    Pro Tips

    • Always use fresh ingredients as this is the key to a fresh and flavorful sauce.
    • To have a thick consistency, adjust the quantity of mayonnaise in the sauce.
    • Try to make it fresh every time you need it, or even if you store it, try using it within a week.
