There are as many variations of tartar sauce as there is fish. Mine is super
simple with just 4 ingredients.
• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• 2 Tbsp dill pickle relish, chopped fine and drained
• 1 Tbsp finely diced green onion
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• Up to ½ Tbsp fresh chopped dill (optional)
Instructions
Gently combine all in ingredients in a small bowl. Chill thoroughly.
Options
• You can also do sweet pickle relish or a combination of both.
• Add 1½ tsp chopped capers for a different twist.
• Reduce the mayonnaise to ½ cup and add ¼ cup sour cream.
Recipes are like stories; they can change from person to person. Everyone has their idea of how a recipe should be, even
though it may have changed from the original. We will never know the true author of the original recipe, regardless of
what some may say. That's why I go back and look through the oldest cookbooks that I can find. Sometimes it's not the
recipe in the books that I find, but the tiny pieces of handwritten recipes and newspaper articles that are stuck within
the pages. That's where the real story is, finding those simple Southern recipes. -Mac
