If you have never made your own tartar sauce, you are in for a treat. As with most things, the homemade version is leaps and bounds above the store-bought version, both in taste and nutrition. You only need a few ingredients and a couple of minutes.
Where do the probiotics come from?
This tartar sauce uses a lacto-fermented mayo, but any homemade mayo or high quality store-bought mayo will do. (You will lose out on some probiotics, however.) Don’t despair if that is the case because more probiotics come from the lacto-fermented pickles. Bubbies is a popular brand that is in the refrigerated section of most larger grocery stores. Be sure to buy pickles from the refrigerated section. If you don’t, they are not lacto-fermented and do not contain probiotics. Next up, you can choose from lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, or Kombucha. And finally, fresh dill is best, but dried will work.
Probiotic Tartar Sauce
- One cup of lacto-fermented mayo (or other high quality mayo)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped lacto-fermented pickles
- 3 Tablespoons lemon juice, ACV, or Kombucha
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh dill or 3/4 teaspoon dried dill
Combine all ingredients. Refrigerate for a couple of hours before using to let the flavors meld.
