Keto Tartar Sauce Recipe
Stir finely diced dill pickle, savory brine, and fresh lemon juice into rich mayonnaise for a quick, creamy keto tartar sauce that adds crisp crunch and bright tang to seafood in five minutes.
Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 medium dill pickle (approx 2 oz)
- 1 Tablespoon pickle juice
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Cut the dill pickle into tiny, evenly sized bits. A fine dice distributes the crunch throughout the sauce rather than leaving large chunks.
- Combine the mayonnaise, pickle juice, lemon juice, and diced pickle in a bowl, stirring until evenly blended. The mixture should look creamy, with no separate streaks of mayonnaise or puddles of liquid.
- Sample a spoonful and adjust the balance to suit your taste using the listed ingredients. A balanced bite tastes tangy and savory while still letting the creamy mayonnaise come through.
Notes
Texture tip: Cut the pickle into tiny, uniform bits to ensure even crunch throughout the sauce and avoid releasing excess surface moisture.
Fixing thin sauce: If extra brine loosens the texture, gradually stir in a little more thick mayonnaise until it reaches your preferred body.
Storage: Keep the sauce refrigerated in an airtight glass container and give it a quick stir before serving to redistribute any settled liquids.
