Notes
Nutrition has been calculated using full-fat mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise: Use light or full-fat mayonnaise, but not fat-free, as the flavor will be compromised. If you would like to lighten up the tartar sauce, replace up to half of the mayonnaise with plain nonfat yogurt.
Pickles: It is important to finely dice the dill pickles so that they don't compromise the dipping ability of the sauce. Add up to ½ cup of pickles if you like a chunky tartar sauce and only ¼ cup for a smoother sauce.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
