3tablespoonsfresh dillchopped
1-2teaspoonslemon juice
1teaspoongarlicminced
1-2teaspoonsdijon mustard
1tablespoonsweet yellow oniondiced
kosher salt and ground black pepperto taste
Instructions
Prep Pickles: In order to remove some of the excess water from the pickles (no one wants watery tartar sauce), lay each spear on its side on a cutting board and cut off the seeds. Cut remaining part of the pickle into small pieces and then using either a cheesecloth or clean hands, squeeze out as much remaining liquid as possible.
Blend: Add prepared pickles to food processor along with mayo, dill, lemon juice, garlic, dijon and onion. Blend until consistency is smooth (don't over-blend).
Taste + Adjust: Taste and add any salt or pepper, as-needed, as well as any additional dill, lemon, etc.
Pickles: I highly recommend the Claussen pickles we used for testing, their flavor is light and bright and works perfectly in this recipe. Of course, use what you have available if you can't!
