I generally don’t like tartar sauce because it is so sweet, but this healthy tartar sauce recipe is tangy without being cloying. The key to making it healthy is using Greek yogourt which is low in fat and high in protein as a substitution for the mayonnaise. The capers and lemon juice stand in for the sweet relish which is the cause of the extreme sweetness of some tartar sauce recipes.
Try this with my homemade fish sticks!
Healthy Tartar Sauce Recipe:
(makes ~1/4 cup)
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 dash hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (the squeeze of one wedge)
pepper
It’s easy, just mix together all your ingredients and taste for seasoning.
