Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 Cup diced dill pickles
  • 1 Tbsp capers drained and chopped
  • 2 Tbsp dill pickle juice
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 2 tsp dried dill
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • dash hot sauce

Instructions

  • Dice the pickles and roughly chop the capers.
  • Add all ingredients to a small bowl and stir until well mixed.
  • This tartar sauce is best if it has time to rest (1 hour), but can be served immediatly.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

If you would rather use fresh dill, increase to 2 tablespoons.
I find salt is not needed in this recipe as the dill pickles, pickle juice and capers add enough, but you can salt to taste if needed.
