Long John Silvers Tartar Sauce Recipe
This Long John Silvers Tartar Sauce Recipe is a real winner. It is creamy, tangy, and has the perfect crunch.
Ingredients
- 1 cup of high-quality creamy mayonnaise.
- 2 tablespoons of sweet pickle relish drained.
- 1 tablespoon of finely minced white onion.
- 1 tablespoon of prepared yellow mustard.
- 1 teaspoon of granulated white sugar.
- 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley flakes.
- 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Instructions
Prep the Onion
- Mince the white onion into very tiny, fine pieces. This helps the flavor spread evenly in the sauce.
Drain the Relish
- Put the sweet relish in a small mesh strainer. Press out the extra juice so the sauce stays thick.
Combine the Base
- Put the mayonnaise into a medium glass mixing bowl. Add the drained relish and the minced white onion.
Add the Seasonings
- Stir in the yellow mustard, sugar, and dried parsley. These items give the sauce its classic yellow tint.
Whisk the Mixture
- Use a wire whisk to blend everything very well. Make sure the sugar is fully dissolved in the mayo.
Season with Salt
- Add a pinch of salt and taste the sauce. You can add a little more if you like.
Chill to Set
- Transfer the sauce into a clean airtight glass jar. Put it in the fridge for at least one hour.
Notes
- Always use a full-fat mayonnaise for the best texture.
- Let the sauce chill so the flavors can blend.
- Mince the onion very small so it is smooth.
- Use sweet relish, not dill relish, for this recipe.
- Add a tiny drop of lemon juice for brightness.
- Drain the relish well so the sauce is thick.
- Store it in the back of the fridge today.
