Basic Tartar Sauce (or anything with mayo is a good thing)


Suezy asked about a cocktail sauce recipe—I will pay attention then next time I make some and document it but for now I thought I would share my tartar sauce recipe and a couple easy revisions….

1 C Mayo ( I used light but you can use FF or whatever you like)
2 T minced onion (or scallions or shallots)
1 T dill relish (not the kind with mustard)
1 t lemon juice (juice of half a fresh lemon is actually better)
Dash Worcestershire
Dash hot sauce (Franks or Tabasco etc)
½ t Parisian seasoning (Penzy.com it’s the best!)
½ t garlic salt
Pinch black pepper
Mix it all together and that is all there is to it.
Now--REVISIONS!
You can change up the flavor by adding any or all of the following!
Horseradish (some like it hot!)
mustard--yellow; stone ground,Dijon--all impart different flavors
1/2 t dill weed (I like mine this way)

Smoked Salmon spread:
Trade the mayo for a packet of cream cheese, 1/2 t dill weed and add 1/2 C flaked smoked salmon

Louie Dressing:
Add 1 or 2 T catchup and a minced hard cooked egg and you have a "thousand island-y" Louie salad dressing
