Instructions

• Choose which pickle and dill options you will use and measure them: use 1/2 cup dill pickle relish OR 3/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles, and 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill OR 1 tsp dried; finely chop pickles or fresh dill if needed.
• In a medium bowl combine 1 cup real mayonnaise, the chosen relish or chopped pickles, the chosen dill, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional).
• Stir vigorously with a spoon or whisk until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Taste and, if desired, adjust seasoning using only the included ingredients (for example, a bit more black pepper or cayenne).
• Transfer the tartar sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld, if you can.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
