Traditional Tartar Sauce

This very traditional tartar sauce is better after resting a day or two in the refrigerator, giving the flavors a chance to meld.
Servings 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons minced shallot or onion
  • 2 tablespoons minced dill pickle
  • 2 tablespoons sweet relish
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons drained capers
  • 1/8 teaspoon hot sauce such as Tabasco

Instructions

  • In medium bowl, whisk all ingredients to blend. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Dip can be made in advance and refrigerated, covered, up to 2 days. If it gives off some liquid, carefully drain before serving.
