Ingredients

  • 1/2 c Mayonnaise I use Dukes
  • 1 tsp Dried Minced Onion
  • 1.5 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1.5 tbs Dill Relish
  • 1 tsp Capers chopped
  • 1/2 tsp Dijon Mustard I use Grey Poupon
  • 1/8 tsp Garlic Powder
  • Pinch of Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Hot Sauce
  • Dash of Old Bay Seasoning
  • Dash of Cayenne optional

Instructions

  • Begin by adding the mayonnaise to a small mixing bowl.
  • To the side of the mayonnaise, add the minced onion.
  • Add the lemon juice to the same area as the minced onion. This will allow them to soak in some of the moisture.
  • Mince the dill relish and capers then add to the mixing bowl.
  • Next, add the remaining ingredients and whisk to combine.
  • Transfer the tartar sauce to a covered container and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
