Easy and Fresh Homemade Tartar Sauce

At one point this year, my entire family couldn't get enough of homemade Tartar Sauce, we always kept it stocked in the fridge. It's incredibly simple to make and tastes much better than any store-bought version, plus it's more cost-effective!

I encourage you to try it. There are numerous variations, but this Tartar Sauce recipe stands out in our region, offering perfectly balanced flavors and always being in high demand. It pairs wonderfully with fish, fried or baked potatoes, meats, mushrooms, and more.

Step by step

Step 1

In a deep bowl, mix 150g mayonnaise and 150g yogurt.

While many recipes use only mayonnaise, I find this version too rich and heavy, so try out different mixes to discover your preferred combination.

Dice the cucumbers into the smallest cubes possible; this is a great opportunity to practice your knife skills.

I've tried making the sauce in a food processor, but the hand-chopped small cubes add a special texture.
