Equipment

  • Medium-sized bowl
  • Whisk
  • Plastic wrap

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon tangy sweet pickle relish
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
  • 1/2 cup creamy mayonnaise

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prep the Ingredients

  • First things first, gather all your ingredients. Having everything chopped and ready makes the process a breeze. Chop the parsley and onions finely. Trust me, the smaller the pieces, the better the blend.

Step 2: Mix the Base

  • In a medium-sized bowl, combine the creamy mayonnaise and granulated sugar. I like to use a whisk for this to ensure the sugar dissolves completely and the mayo is smooth.

Step 3: Flavor Explosion

  • Add in the finely chopped onions, fresh parsley, Dijon mustard, and tangy sweet pickle relish. I often feel like an alchemist at this stage, mixing up magic.

Step 4: Combine Everything

  • Fold the mixture gently until all the ingredients are seamlessly combined. Don’t overmix it; just enough to ensure all the flavors meld together.

Step 5: Let It Rest

  • Here’s my pro-tip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to marry and intensify.

Notes

Fresh Parsley: Freshly chopped parsley brings a vibrant and slightly peppery flavor. It also adds a lovely color to the sauce.
Dijon Mustard: This type of mustard is known for its sharp, complex flavor, which perfectly complements the sweetness of the relish and sugar.
Granulated Sugar: Adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the tanginess of the mustard and relish.
Tangy Sweet Pickle Relish: This ingredient is critical in giving that signature tartar sauce taste. It adds both sweetness and tang.
Finely Chopped Onions: Provides a subtle crunch and a bit of sharpness to the sauce.
Creamy Mayonnaise: The base of the sauce. It binds all the components together while adding a smooth, creamy texture.
