    Garlic Dill Tartar Sauce

    Ingredients in Keto Tartar Sauce

    Ingredients for tartar sauce - parsley, lemon, mayo, dill, dijon, pickles, garlic, salt and pepper

    Ingredient Notes

    • Mayonnaise - If you have the time and ingredients, I really recommend making your own homemade mayo. Check out my 2 Minute Easy Peasy Mayo Recipe
    • Pickles - I'm a big fan of savory tartar sauce and always go with dill pickles, but if you like it on the sweeter side, feel free to use sweet pickles. To make this keto tartar sauce even quicker you can use relish.
    • Lemon Juice - For this recipe I used fresh squeezed lemon juice, but bottled will also do the trick. If you do not have any lemon juice, you can also use a splash of apple cider vinegar.
    • Sweetener - This is an optional ingredient. If you like your tartar with a hint of sweetness, then I recommend adding 1 to 2 teaspoons of the sweetener of your choice. If you prefer a savory tartar, omit it altogether.

    How to make keto tartar sauce

    A mixing bowl with mayonnaise, dijon, pickles, garlic, dill, parsley, salt and pepper

    STEP 1: Add the mayo, dijon, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, pickles, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. This Garlic Dill Tartar Sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do you substitute dried herbs for fresh herbs?

    Yes, you can. A good rule of thumb is to use ⅓ the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs. For example: If a recipe calls for one tablespoon of fresh herbs, you could substitute that with 1 teaspoon of dried herbs.

    Is tartar sauce keto?

    Yes, tartar sauce is low in carbs and high in fat, making it the perfect keto-friendly condiment. Just make sure to steer clear of store-bought brands with added sugar.

    What kind of mustard goes in tartar sauce?

    A lot of tartar sauce recipes don't call for mustard at all, but I think it adds something special. I like to use Dijon, spicy brown, or even a sweet, hot mustard.

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 medium pickle, chopped, about ¾ cup

    Notes

    • If you want to substitute dried herbs for the fresh herbs in this recipe, a good rule of thumb is to use ⅓ the amount. For example: 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs can be substituted with 1 teaspoon of dried herbs. 
    • For a smoother, non-chunky version, you can give all the ingredients a few quick pulses in the food processor.

      So good with salmon. I can eat this with a spoon! Kendra dressings and sauces are all packed with flavor. Try that Russian dressing detailed in her Reubens salad recipe. Ugh. So good!
