I was looking for a sauce to serve my beer-battered vegan fish, and tartar sauce came to mind. I haven’t had it since becoming vegan and I didn’t know if I could find it at my local grocery store, so I made my own vegan tartar sauce recipe and let me tell you, it’s amazing!
It only requires 6 easy to find ingredients and all you have to do is mix in a small bowl until well combined. All your favorite recipes have a delicious sauce to enjoy in less than 5 minutes.
Note the ingredients
- Can be vegetarian: I used my vegan mayo recipe, but store bought works really well too.
- Sulfa Pickle: I like to use dal pickles, but any kind is fine.
- onion: Any type of onion will do. If you don’t like it, you can omit this ingredient.
- dried dill: Feel free to use fresh dill if you like.
- lemon juice: Pickle juice is also a good option.
- Ground pepper: The taste of fresh black pepper is amazing. However, I find store bought more convenient and easier to measure with teaspoons.

Pro tips
- Chop onions and pickles very finely To get the best consistency. But it’s totally up to you, cut them depending on how chunky you want your sauce to be.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (ideally 2-3 hours) before serving for best taste.
- For a lighter sauce with fewer caloriesYou can swap half the mayo for any non-dairy yogurt like soy yogurt or coconut yogurt.
