Tartar Sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, capers, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well combined.

2. 2

   Add the chopped fresh dill, minced shallot, and chopped parsley to the bowl. Mix gently to distribute the herbs evenly throughout the sauce.

3. 3

   Add the Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce, stirring to incorporate. These add depth and a subtle kick to the tartar sauce.

4. 4

   Taste the sauce and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Remember that the pickles and capers already add saltiness.

5. 5

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

6. 6

   Before serving, give the sauce a quick stir and taste again for seasoning. Adjust if necessary.

7. 7

   Store any leftover tartar sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
