I love this tartar sauce. It’s so quick to make and it’s so tasty.

question

I wish recipes had alternatives for fresh herbs. I very rarely have fresh herbs. Very rarely. This recipe would be great if i could just grab my dry herb jars, jar of mayonnaise and pickles and make some tartar sauce.

Hello, a general rule of thumb is to use 1/3rd dry herbs to fresh herbs. So for this recipe it would be 1 tsp dried parsley and 2/3rds tsp dried tarragon. Thanks for your question - Good Food Team.

You can dried herbs, no real difference

question

If this only keeps in the fridge for 2 or 3 days, what does the commercial sauce contain that lets it keep for months in the jar? thank you Sandy.

It'll keep a lot longer than that if you use shop bought mayonnaise, which lasts for months in the fridge once opened. I made some using this recipe and it was absolutely fine for a couple of months.

Delicious, and so easy to make, I will never buy another jar again
