Tartar Sauce

Makes 2 cups


Active time: 10 minutes


Start to finish: 10 minutes

While we think mayonnaise sauce with pickles and capers when it comes to fried seafood, it goes well with Southern sausages such as Andouille or Cajun Boudin, too.

11/2 cups mayonnaise

3 scallions, white parts only, chopped

1/4 cup finely chopped cornichons

3 tablespoons small capers, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons white wine vinegar

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

1 tablespoon smooth Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Combine mayonnaise, scallions, cornichons, capers, vinegar, parsley, and tarragon in a mixing bowl. Whisk well, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Note: The sauce can be refrigerated up to 4 days.
