This is the simplest possible tartar sauce, and works beautifully. Remember to taste the citrus at the last minute, and adjust.
Helpful variatons: Fresh dill in addition to, or instead of, parsley, if the sauce is meant for fish.
Scallions, whites with some of the green, work just as well as red onion.
For a touch of heat, rather than hot sauce, use a few generous grinds of white pepper, or a sprinkle, if it's already ground.
A bit of lemon zest, with the juice.
For more piquancy, try corniche a instead of sweet pickles; shallots instead of red onion; increase lemon juice.
I doubled this recipe and used 1/3 cup Sriracha mayo plus 1/3 cup nonfat greek yogurt to make low-fat and boost up the flavor. The spice kicks in a few seconds on the back end. Yum
Eh. Worcestershire sauce sorta overpowers things. I'd leave it out if I make it again. Needs more mayo or less lemon juice else everything gets too liquidy.
Delicious. I use veganaise instead of mayo, it works very well.
I use maybe 3x as much Greek yogurt as mayo, cutting down on fat, and prefer dill pickles, olives, or capers instead of sweet anything. Dijon mustard, a bit, always.
