Ago's Notes
- Fresh dill gives the sauce its distinctive freshness, but fresh parsley or chives can be substituted.
- Finely dice the pickles and chop the capers so their tangy flavor is distributed evenly through the mayonnaise.
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days and stir well before serving again.
Serve the tartar sauce chilled or freshly mixed with fried fish, seafood, fries, roasted vegetables or sandwiches.
