Tartar Sauce Recipe
Creamy and tangy homemade tartar sauce is so easy that you'll never settle for store bought again! My secret ingredient is using pickled asparagus instead of just pickles. The flavor of this tartar sauce is unreal. Must-have recipe for any fish fry!

- ¼ cup sour cream
- ⅓ cup (60g) pickled asparagus, finely chopped
- 1 Tablespoon dill pickles, finely chopped, or dill relish
- 7 slices pickled jalapeno, finely chopped *optional
- 1 Tablespoon cilantro, finely chopped (substitute: parsley)
- 1 teaspoon capers, finely chopped or mashed
- 1 (22g) green onion, finely chopped (substitute: shallot, or chives)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- pinch salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until well combined. Alternatively, add all pickled ingredients, garlic, and herbs into a food processor until well minced, 15-30 seconds, and add mayo, sour cream, and remaining ingredients pulse until well combined.

Cover the sauce bowl with plastic wrap or airtight lid. Let chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer to marinate. Sauce is best served cold.
