Lemon Tartar Sauce Recipe: A Refreshing Sidekick for Seafood Sauces/Condiments Seafood

Tartar sauce has been found in cookbooks since the 19th century. The name derives from the French sauce "tartare." Lately I’ve enjoyed making my own homemade salad dressings and sauces. Not only is homemade just better, but it’s always nice to save money at the grocery store.

This lemon tartar sauce recipe is quick, easy and a great sidekick to your favorite seafood and fish dishes. I especially like it with a good ol’ fashioned fish fry.
