Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 2 medium dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the capers and dill pickles. You want a fine dice to ensure the sauce has a smooth texture.
Chop the fresh dill and parsley into fine bits. The herbs should be as fine as possible without being minced.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt with the chopped capers and pickles.
Add the finely chopped dill and parsley to the mixture.
Pour in the lemon juice and add the Dijon mustard, stirring well to combine.
Season the mix with black pepper and garlic powder. Stir all the ingredients until the tartare sauce reaches a homogenous and creamy consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as necessary. If a sharper flavor is preferred, an additional squeeze of lemon juice can be added.
Cover the sauce and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
