Easy Tartar Sauce with Pickles and Capers

This tartar sauce (or tartare as we call it in Australia) makes the perfect accompaniment to fish, burgers and even roasted low-carb veggies. There's nothing better that I love on a lazy summers night to grill some fresh fish, and serve it over greens with a dollop of this deliciously creamy, tangy sauce.

I’ve used some freshly chopped cilantro (coriander) in mine but any fresh summery herbs like parsley, dill or chives would work well in this sauce. You can use any mayo for this recipe but if you can, use mayo made with healthy fats such as avocado, macadamia or walnut oil, or even light tasting olive oil.

Step-by-step

1. Prepare all the ingredients. Chop the herbs.

   

2. Finely dice the pickles, and roughly chop the capers.

   

3. Add all ingredients to a small bowl and mix well.

   

4. Serve immediately. Store for up to five days in a sealed container in the fridge.
