Easy Dill Tartar Sauce: One of the Best
As I’ve said before on the food blog, one of my favorite tartar sauce recipes is from the Barefoot Contessa (The recipe is here… it’s outstanding.). I’m such a fan of that particular tartar sauce that I honestly stopped making any other version for over a year. But then, I got a little tired of having the same one each time, so I switched things up a bit. The result is honestly a tartar sauce I like just as well… something I never thought possible.
Don’t tell the Contessa!
My recipe calls for Duke’s Mayonnaise, simply because it’s the only one I buy and use. If it isn’t available where you live, simply use your favorite. The main thing is that you use mayonnaise and not salad dressing – it really makes a difference.
As for the sweetener – I’ve made this using sugar, stevia, and Truvia and there is no difference whatsoever. Use whatever sweetener you choose to use.

Ingredients
- 1 cup Duke's Mayonnaise
- 1 cup hamburger pickles, finely chopped
- 1 TBS chopped fresh dill
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp pepper (black or white)
- 1 tsp sugar (or Truvia - I use it most of the time)
- 1-2 tsp minced onion
Instructions
- Combine. Cover that fish in it!
