Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Finely chop the dill pickles until they are in small, uniform pieces. Measure out 3 tablespoons and place in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Rinse the capers thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess brine. Pat them dry with a paper towel before finely chopping. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped capers to the bowl with the pickles.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and fresh dill, ensuring there are no large stems included. Add 1 tablespoon of each to the mixing bowl.
Add 1 cup of mayonnaise to the bowl and gently stir it with the chopped ingredients until they are thoroughly combined.
Add 2 teaspoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the mixture. Stir well to incorporate all the flavors.
Season the tartare sauce with 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder, 0.5 teaspoon of onion powder, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Mix until all the spices are evenly distributed.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve this low carb tartare sauce chilled alongside your favorite seafood dishes or as a dip for fresh veggies.
