I tried this recipe because I wanted to have a good yet simple tartar sauce for my salmon cakes (recipe also found on this site)... One thing I love about this recipe is not only how quick and easy it was, but it was delicious and easy to modify to one's liking. A few of my own modifications: I opted to leave out the lemon juice, but I added 1 tbsp of sugar (cuz I like my tartar sauce, but I didn't want the sweet relish to be overbearing), 1 tsp of paprika and a dash or two of cayenne pepper. I followed the advice of letting it sit in the refrigerator for a few days... I made it on Friday and the result was a sauce on Monday that my girlfriend called "crazy good". I will definitely repeat this recipe over and over and over again!

This is the best tartar sauce. I don't even think about buying tartar sauce at the store. I've used home made sweet pickles, chopped gherkins, and relish. The only thing I don't understand is the 3 day storage. I have stored this for 1 month in the refrigerator and I'm still alive!

I'd never had tartar sauce, so I have nothing to compare it to, but everyone loved it. My husband said it was better than what you'd find in a restaurant. I added a little dill and a TBS of ketchup per another reviewer. I would make this again!

Perfect tartar sauce...kid approved...great with fish sticks. Pickle relish is easy because its already chopped finely, but you can chop up dill pickles as well.

This is definitely good, but try adding a T. full of dill pickle juice and dill relish instead of the sweet relish. I saw this on a cooking show and have been making it like this for years. Super

Have been making it this way for years and years. Must be mayo and not salad dressing. Every once in awhile I throw in a dill pickle for tang. Can use sweet pickle if you don't have any relish in the frigerator.

Great East Tartar Sauce, I added a little more relish and onion (I grated the onion) and a 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill. Other than that followed the rest and it was great.

Too much mayo for the amount of other ingredients. I had to add double the amount of the pickles and onion in order to get this to have any flavor. Lemon juice is a must, not an option.

I only used 1 T. of lemon juice, and used dill relish instead of sweet. Chilled for a couple of hours, and it turned out great! A nice simple recipe.

I loved this recipes. If I had realized before that making tartar sauce was this easy and delicious I would've been making it forever. I used chopped dill pickles instead of relish because I didn't have any and maybe just a splash of lemon juice because I didn't want it too runny. It was great and I will never buy store bought tartar sauce again.
