Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter tartar sauce, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a creamy texture with fewer calories. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for extra brightness. Fresh dill is preferred, but dried dill can work in a pinch. If you want a bit of heat, try adding a dash of hot sauce. This sauce pairs beautifully with Clam Chowder(Soup) or fish dishes.

How can I make this tartar sauce spicier?
To add some heat to your tartar sauce, you can mix in a few dashes of hot sauce, or finely chopped jalapeños. Another option is to include a pinch of cayenne pepper or some crushed red pepper flakes to give it a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors.
What can I use instead of dill?
