Tartar sauce is one of those things that’s just plain better when homemade. Once you make it yourself, you may never go back to the jarred version. This homemade tartar sauce is salty, creamy and just the right amount of tangy\u2014everything you want in a condiment to serve with crispy fish or fries. With just a few ingredients, this recipe can be whipped up in minutes whenever you want a tartar sauce that tastes fresh and feels effortless.<\/p>\n
In a small bowl, combine the chopped dill pickles, mayonnaise, finely chopped onion and a dash of pepper. Stir the ingredients together until well mixed and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.<\/p>\n
To store tartar sauce, transfer it to an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to one week. Be sure to give it a good stir before serving, as some separation may occur during storage.<\/p>\n
Freezing tartar sauce is not recommended, as the mayonnaise base can separate and become grainy when thawed. It\u2019s best to make a fresh batch to maintain a creamy texture and flavor.<\/p>\n
Yes, you can easily make tartar sauce ahead of time. In fact, letting it sit in the fridge for 30 minutes to two hours allows the flavors to meld together, making it even more delicious when served.<\/p>\n
While you can serve this sauce directly after making it, we do recommend refrigerating the tartar sauce for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors develop. Refrigerating the sauce helps it keep its peak flavor and freshness for longer.<\/p>\n
Tartar sauce originated in France as sauce tartare, named after the Tatars who settled in Ukraine and parts of Russia. The French, in producing this mayonnaise<\/span><\/a> or aioli sauce, may have based the “tartar” moniker upon their spelling of the Tatar name, which was Tartare.<\/span><\/p>\n Tartar sauce is typically made of mayonnaise; chopped pickles or gherkins; and onions, capers or fresh parsley, so it should be gluten-free. For those who follow a strict GF diet, always check the label to verify that the mayonnaise you are using is gluten-free.<\/p>\n Tartar sauce is a creamy, tangy dipping sauce or condiment that pairs well with seafood, especially fish fry recipes<\/span><\/a> like <\/span>fish and chips<\/span><\/a>. Try homemade tartar sauce with <\/span>fish sticks<\/span><\/a>, crab cakes, <\/span>salmon patties<\/span><\/a> or fried oysters. But you don’t have to stick to seafood. Tartar sauce works as a spread for a sandwich or burger or as a dip for fresh vegetables or pita chips. You can also use your tartar sauce as a condiment for crispy <\/span>fried chicken<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This easy homemade tartar sauce is packed

Tartar Sauce Tips<\/h2> \r\n\r\n
Why is it called tartar sauce?<\/h3> \r\nTartar sauce originated in France as sauce tartare, named after the Tatars, who settled in the Ukraine and parts of Russia. The French, in producing this mayonnaise or aioli-based sauce, may have based the tartar moniker upon their own varied spelling of the Tatar name, which was Tartare. \r\n\r\n
Is there gluten in tartar sauce?<\/h3> \r\nTartar sauce is typically made of mayonnaise, chopped pickles or gherkins, and onions, capers, or fresh parsley. As such, it is gluten-free. For those who follow a gluten-free diet, always check the label to verify that the mayonnaise you are using is gluten-free. \r\n\r\n
What goes well with tartar sauce?<\/h3> \r\nTartar sauce traditionally pairs excellently with seafood, notably fish and fries<\/a>. However, it can also be used as a condiment with fried chicken<\/a> and even burgers<\/a>. It is all a matter of personal taste!","Metadescription":"Creamy, tangy tartar sauce is the perfect condiment for fried fish recipes. We also like it as a sandwich spread or a dip for fresh veggies.

Tartar Sauce Tips<\/h2>
What do you serve with tartar sauce?<\/h3>Tartar sauce is a creamy, tangy dipping sauce or condiment that pairs well with seafood, especially fish fry recipes<\/a> like fish and chips<\/a>. Try homemade tartar sauce with fish sticks<\/a>, crab cakes, salmon patties<\/a> or fried oysters. But you don't have to stick to seafood. Tartar sauce works as a spread for a sandwich or burger or as a dip for fresh vegetables or pita chips. You can also use your tartar sauce as a condiment for crispy fried chicken<\/a>.
Do you need to refrigerate tartar sauce before serving it? <\/h3>While you can serve this sauce directly after making it, we do recommend refrigerating the tartar sauce for at least 2 hours to let the flavors develop. Refrigerating the sauce helps keep it at its peak flavor and freshness for longer. \r\n\r\n

Why is it called tartar sauce?<\/h3>Tartar sauce originated in France as sauce tartare<\/i>, named after the Tatars who settled in Ukraine and parts of Russia. The French, in producing this mayonnaise<\/a> or aioli sauce, may have based the \"tartar\" moniker upon their spelling of the Tatar name, which was Tartare.
Is there gluten in tartar sauce?<\/h3>Tartar sauce is typically made of mayonnaise, chopped pickles or gherkins, and onions, capers or fresh parsley, so it should be gluten-free. For those who follow a GF diet, always check the label to verify that the mayonnaise you are using is gluten-free.
