Ingredients

Vegan Tartar Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup vegan mayo (homemade OR store bought)
  • 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 2 teaspoons dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon squeezed)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, add the vegan mayo, finely chopped dill pickles, dried or fresh dill, and fresh lemon juice. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed and the sauce has a consistent texture.
  2. Store the Sauce: Transfer the tartar sauce to a covered container or jar. Refrigerate for up to one week to allow the flavors to meld together and to keep it fresh until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled.
  • You can adjust the amount of dill and pickles based on your taste preference for more or less tanginess.
  • Make sure to finely chop the pickles so the texture is smooth and consistent.
  • Homemade vegan mayo is ideal if you prefer control over ingredients, but store-bought brands work perfectly as a quick option.
  • This sauce complements vegan fish sticks, grilled vegetables, and sandwiches beautifully.
