- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Notes
Adaptations/Variations
- Add a touch of Dijon mustard. Many homemade tartar sauce recipes call for Dijon. I tried it with the mustard, but I felt like the overall flavor wasn’t as good – like it muddled the other flavors a bit to much and no longer tasted like pure tartar sauce. But if you’re a Dijon mustard lover, I encourage you to try it – maybe it will be perfect for you!
- Spicy Tartar Sauce: Add a few dashes of green Tabasco sauce, to taste. My guy swears by this!
- Vegan Tartar Sauce: Use a vegan mayo like Vegenaise.
