Recipe: Tartar Sauce

There's nothing like fresh tartar sauce made with your favorite mayonnaise. Zest the lemon first, then squeeze it for juice. Make the sauce no more than 3 days ahead.

Ingredients

• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• Dash of Tabasco sauce
• 2 tablespoons drained sweet pickle relish
• 2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf [a/k/a "Italian"] parsley
• 2 tablespoons finely minced shallots
• 1 tablespoon drained tiny capers
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

Combine mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest and juice, Tabasco and relish in a bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour before serving for flavors to bland. Store, refrigerated, up to 3 days.

Makes about 1-1/2 cups.
