Tartar Sauce - Homemade Condiments

Making your own tartar sauce at home gives you more control over how much salt, sugar and other ingredients you and your family are adding to the foods you eat. And often they taste better, too!

Many condiments are easy to make, and once you’ve tried them you may not want to go back to store-bought ones!

  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped capers
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh, or, bottled lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped dill pickle
  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped green onion (white part only, light green part only) OR
  • 1 Tbsp. white onion
  • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a bowl or jar that holds 1 cup mix all the ingredients together.
