I love Tarter Sauce! When you are a Southern gal and love Southern Fried Catfish, you have to have Tarter Sauce. It is essential!
Even though there are some good brands out there, I like to make my own Tarter Sauce because I like to add more ingredients than you may get in the store bought and it is just so much more fresh.
Honestly, Tarter Sauce is so delicious with your Southern Fried Catfish. Here’s the link for the catfish: https://the2spoons.com/the-best-southern-fried-catfish/
So Good! Simple Tarter Sauce
I like my Tarter Sauce spicy, so I use Louisiana Hot Sauce. http://www.louisiana-brand.com. You can use your favorite hot sauce also!
Tarter Sauce
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup sliced dill pickles
- 1/3 cup diced onions
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 1/2 cup mayoniaise of our choice
- 1/2 tbsp pickle juice
- splash of worcestershire
- splash of Louisiana Hot Sauce or your choice of a hot sauce (optional)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp fresh dill
- 1/4 tsp parsley
- 1 tsp capers
- 1 green onion, tops and the green portion, sliced
- pinch of sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Either chop the pickles and onions in your food processor or finely chop them. Add the rest of the ingredients and combine. I like to make this either the day ahead or at least 4 hours before use if possible. The sauce really needs a little time for the ingredients to blend.
