Tartare sauce

Easy, delicious tartare sauce — full of body and simply so creamy and good.
Tartare sauce is wonderful with crispy breaded fish, crispy chicken and the like. Homemade tartare sauce is also excellent in a crispy fish burger or chicken burger.
Try it, for example, with these crispy fish fingers, chicken nuggets or fishcakes.

What is tartare sauce
Tartare sauce is a mayonnaise-based dressing/dip/sauce with fresh herbs, pickled gherkins and capers.
I like to use a mix of parsley, chives and dill in my tartare sauce, but use what you have and what you like best. One kind on its own is perfectly fine — and do try a little fresh tarragon or chervil too, which is really lovely.
If you would like a lighter tartare sauce, you can easily replace 100–150 ml of the mayonnaise with 100 ml crème fraîche. That makes it less rich and adds more acidity.
When I use my tartare sauce as a dip, I prefer the lighter version, as it is not quite so heavy. When I use it in a burger, I make it with mayonnaise only.
