Pioneer Woman Tartar Sauce
I’ve made plenty of versions over the years, but this one takes everything up a notch with the right balance of tang and creaminess.The mix of mayo, dill pickles, and fresh lemon juice is divine, while a little Dijon mustard ties it all together.One thing that really makes a difference is chopping the pickles finely so every bite gets a little crunch without overwhelming the sauce.I also like to let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving—those flavors need time to blend!This tartar sauce has the right texture for dipping crispy fish, spreading on a sandwich, or even tossing into a simple coleslaw.
