Tartar Sauce
Packed with crunchy, sharp zing from onion, and tang and savoriness from capers, this homemade tartar sauce delivers bold freshness. Once you’ve mixed the base below, you can stir in more of whichever ingredients you most enjoy. And if you don’t like the bite of raw onion, you can soak it in cold water for 10 minutes and drain before stirring it in. Thick yet spreadable, this works as a dip, too.
