MAKES ABOUT 3 CUPS, ENOUGH TO FEED 12 OR MORE
In Wisconsin—at least with my family—if I want to add unusual or unexpected ingredients to a classic like this, I have to sneak them in. At home I just call it “tartar sauce.” My family loves it.
2 cups MAYONNAISE (2 recipes) or store-bought mayonnaise
1/2 cup finely chopped CORNICHONS
1 small YELLOW ONION, finely chopped
1/4 cup CAPERS, rinsed, drained, and finely chopped
11/2 teaspoons SHERRY VINEGAR
11/2 teaspoons HOT SAUCE
1/2 teaspoon CURRY POWDER
1/2 teaspoon CAYENNE PEPPER
1/2 teaspoon WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE
Grated zest of 1/2 LEMON
Combine everything in a bowl. Taste for seasoning and add more of any ingredient to taste. Cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve or for up to 2 days.
