Easy Vegan Tartar Sauce

Sharon Palmer

Sometimes a good old-fashioned tartar sauce recipe compliments dishes so perfectly. That creamy base with a touch of tartness, thanks to lemon and pickles, and the flavorful addition of dill, mustard and onions is all you need to make a sandwich, grain bowl, veggie burgers, or vegan meatballs shine! And this recipe for easy vegan tartar sauce is so simple–just seven ingredients you can mix up in five minutes, and you’re set! I especially love this vegan tartar sauce recipe served with faux fish dishes, such as my vegan crab cakes. You can also serve this alongside vegan fish alternatives, such as plant-based tuna and frozen fish alternatives.

What Is Tartar Sauce?

Tartar sauce is a simple, classic condiment that is made with mayonnaise and other ingredients, such as pickles, onions, herbs, and spices. It is often served cold with seafood dishes as a dip. In this easy vegan tartar sauce recipe, light vegan mayonnaise is the foundation, along with lemon, Dijon mustard, green onion, pickles, dill, and Old Bay Seasoning, creating a simple accompaniment to savory dishes.

Tartar Sauce Nutrition

If you use light vegan mayonnaise and fresh ingredients, such as lemon juice, onion, and dill, this recipe can be pretty light in calories and fat. However, ingredients like mustard, pickles and Old Bay seasoning can increase the sodium levels in this tartar sauce. Use this sauce to add the flavor to your savory dish, so reduce salt in the recipe you serve this with.
