Tartar Sauce Recipe
I'm so glad I found this easy tartar sauce recipe! Homemade tartar sauce tastes so much better than store-bought.
I especially like that I can make just the amount I need for a meal - there's no half-used bottle of sauce getting old at the back of the fridge.If you're really in a rush, omit the onion and the parsley. You'll still end up with a respectably good tartar sauce. This recipe is easily halved or multiplied, so you can exactly what you need for one meal.
