Dill Tartar Sauce Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- ½ cup Dill Pickles, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Onion, minced through a garlic press
- Pinch of Black Pepper
Instructions
- Chop Pickles: Thinly slice and dice ½ cup of dill pickles into small cubes, ensuring they are finely chopped to blend well in the sauce.
- Prepare Dill: Finely chop one tablespoon of fresh dill to add brightness and herbaceous flavor to the tartar sauce.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, lemon juice, and sugar. Then use a garlic press to mince the onion and squeeze the onion juices into the bowl, integrating all flavors.
- Mix Thoroughly: Using a spoon, stir all ingredients together until fully combined and evenly mixed to create a creamy and well-blended tartar sauce.
