Before I talk about how easy it is to do this Double dill homemade tartar sauce Let me ask, how do you feel about tartar sauce? I’m sure some food snob might consider it a boring condiment, but I absolutely love it and don’t think I would ever miss tartar sauce in a restaurant if I was eating some sort of mildly flavored fish.

Unfortunately, most of the tartar sauce you buy in a jar isn’t that great, and the tartar sauce you buy often contains sugar, so it’s not diet-friendly for many people. And since I always try to eat more fish and love tartar sauce so much, I decided to put together a recipe for a delicious, diet-friendly tartar sauce that has no sugar and is packed with flavour.

It took a little experimenting, but this recipe for Homemade Double-Dill Tartar Sauce that I make now regularly combines Greek yogurt (or sour cream), mayonnaise, dill weed, capers, and chopped dill pickle or relish. Dill picklesIt’s the tastiest tartar sauce recipe I’ve ever tried!

I think this delicious homemade tartar sauce tastes great on any type of fish, and if you love tartar sauce as much as I do, I bet you’ll love this recipe and make it over and over again when you have the fish on the menu!

What if you don’t like Greek yogurt?

I loved the homemade tartar sauce with the light, tangy flavor added by the Greek yogurt, but you can also make it with sour cream if you prefer. You can use full-fat or low-fat dairy products, whichever works best for your way of eating.

Can you make homemade tartar sauce without a food processor?

Using a food processor makes it easy to make Double Dill Tartar Sauce, but if you don’t have one you can definitely mix the ingredients together in a bowl.

Make Homemade Dill Tartar Sauce:

(This is just a summary of the recipe steps; please scroll down for the full printable recipe. OR if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, you will be taken directly to the full recipe.)

You will need Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, chopped capers, dill pickle or dill pickle, and dill weed.
I originally made this with a spice blend called Bon Appetit but that is no longer available now so I use it Beaumond seasoning (referral link).
Measure out the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise.
Add the chopped capers, dill pickle (or chopped dill pickle), dill hash, and Beau Monde seasoning.
You can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl, but I just mixed it up in my accessory bowl immersion blender (referral link).
That’s it! Ready-made homemade tartar sauce should be fairly chunky, have a strong dill flavor with just a hint of yogurt flavor and a hint of creaminess from the mayonnaise.

ingredients

2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (see notes)

1/3 cup mayonnaise (see notes)

1/2 tsp. dill hashish (dried dill)

2 lbs capers, drained and finely chopped

3 T dill pickle relish (see notes)

1/2 tsp. Beaumond seasoning

directions

You can whisk them together in a bowl or use a bowl attachment immersion blender (affiliate link) Like I did, but don’t over process if using an immersion blender.
Measure Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and mayonnaise and whisk together or blend.
Add dried seaweed, chopped capers, dill pickles (or chopped pickles) and Beaumond seasoning (referral link) (referral link).

Whisk or mix until blended. The mixture should be chunky.
Refrigerate for a few hours before using to get the best flavour.
This will keep in the fridge for a few weeks.

notes

Use sour cream instead of Greek yogurt for a slightly less crunchy sauce if you prefer.

You can use whole or reduced-fat Greek yogurt or sour cream, but higher-fat products are usually lower in carbs. Use full-fat or light mayonnaise, but full-fat mayonnaise will have fewer carbohydrates.

Make sure to use dill pickle without sugar (or use finely chopped dill pickle if you prefer; I like to use it My favorite dill pickle for this recipe.)

Low Carb Diet / Low Glycemic Diet / South Beach Diet Suggestions:
This double-dill tartar sauce is a low-carb version of tartar sauce, and low-carb or keto dieters will love this one made with full-fat Greek yogurt (or sour cream) and full-fat mayonnaise. If you prefer less fat, be careful not to choose low-fat Greek yogurt or low-fat mayonnaise that has added sugar if you’re on this low-carb diet. With Greek yogurt and the right low-fat mayonnaise with no added sugar, this could work for the original South Beach Diet.
