150 ml mayonnaise 2 tsp lemon juice 1 tsp Dijon mustard 1 small gherkin finely chopped 2 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
Finely chop the gherkin and fresh dill.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
Add the chopped gherkin and dill.
Mix well until the tartar sauce is smooth and evenly combined.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavours to develop.
Stir once more before serving.
For a sharper flavour, add finely chopped capers or a splash of white wine vinegar.
Bit of tarragon or parsley both work well depending on your preference.
If the sauce feels too thick, loosen it with a small squeeze of lemon juice.
Letting the sauce chill before serving improves texture and flavour.
