Notes
- Use dill pickles or sugar-free relish: Sweet relish usually includes added sugar, so dill pickles are the best choice for keto tartar sauce.
- Chop the pickles small: Finely chopped pickles give the sauce a relish-style texture with better crunch.
- Let it chill before serving: Resting the sauce for 15 to 20 minutes helps the lemon, pickle, herbs, and Old Bay blend into the mayo.
- Use pickle juice for extra tang: Add a small splash if you want stronger pickle flavor.
- Taste before adding salt: Old Bay already includes salt, so stir everything together first, then adjust if needed.
- Store leftovers properly: Keep the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days and stir before serving.
