Instructions
 

  • 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.

Notes

  • 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.
