A few years ago, my sister Michelle gave me a binder full of some of her favorite recipes. I use several on a regular basis, and this is one of them. Before she gave me this recipe, I didn't realize how easy and inexpensive it can be to make your own tartar sauce. It turns out deliciously creamy, and perfectly compliments a variety of seafood dishes. We served it with the salmon patties that I have posted about previously.
Tartar Sauce
3/4 cup mayonnaise or miracle whip
1/4 cup drained dill or sweet relish (if you don't have any relish, just finely chop a bunch of pickles like I did tonight)
2 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 tbsp. parsley
2 tsp. capers, drained (I've never added these)
In a small bowl stir all ingredients together. Cover and chill at least 2 hours before serving. Cover and chill leftovers for up to one week.
See how simple that is? A few basic ingredients and some chilling time and you've got yourself some incredibly delicious tartar sauce. Yum!

Looks very good indeed! I've only made tartar sauce with just the mayo & sweet relish. I like the added ingredients (I'd leave out the capers, too!). Saving this.
Just hopping over from Katy's blog to say hello!
I love your blog! I also love making my own tarter sauce. This recipe looks great!
Can't wait to try out this recipe. I love tartar sauce but rarely by it.
What a pretty dish too.
I'm a big fan of homemade tartar sauce - it takes just a couple minutes and it's easy! I like mine with minced onion, capers (yes, I am a fan), sweet pickle relish and a bit of chopped green olive as well if I am up for that.
