    Much better than store-bought! For those that think this is bland, be sure to add salt/pepper. Homemade sauces and dressings need it.

    I have always made homemade tartar sauce as the stuff in store is just hideous. Anyway, this is the best I have ever tried. We even dipped the potatoe wedges in it. We like it a little tangier, so I add a little extra vinegar. I also add some chopped fresh chives from the herb garden. Mmm, Mmm good!!

    This was soooo good that I couldn't stop raving, until no one else would listen... that's why I'm writing a review! LOL I really like homemade tartars that have a sweetness to them... so I used sweet relish instead of regular pickles. I also really like dijon instead of spicy brown mustard. I had also read the reviews about wanting an extra spice or "kick".... so instead of using Tabasco like the other reviews... I used shallots.... which always go GREAT with white wine or champagne vinegar!!! This tartar was so easy to make... and it also had the perfect balance of sweetness, tart and savory! I bet it would also be really good with a splash of fresh lemon juice! Thanks Ina!!!

    This is a great, basic tartar sauce! I had to use digon mustartd instead of grainy mustard and didn't have any pickles, so I used sweet relish, and the results were perfect. I agree with the other reviewers, however, that it needs a little kick; I added a couple dashes of Tabasco and now it's perfect! The fish is cooking and I can't wait to slather the sauce all over it!

    this sauce is perfect. I added a little lemon juice (1 tsp or less to add a bit more tang but otherwise, it was perfect!

    I liked this tartar sauce but like some other reviewers wanted more heat so I added Louisiana hot sauce. Now it's perfect!

    This tartar sauce was not bland like some reviewers said; and I do not believe they actually made the sauce; especially the reviewer who said she added capers because Ina's sauce was bland. The recipe already listed capers in the ingredients so why would she say it was bland and she decided to add capers. Tut, tut, tut.

    Most commercial tartar sauces are bland, gooey, and awful, but my husband prefers it on his fish and often uses it in place of mayonnaise on sandwiches. So we went on a search for a tasty home-made version. Like another reviewer, we found this good but not quite there. We added more pickle relish (which we had on hand and capers and a dash of Tabasco, and that did it!

    I just made this tartar sauce to go with fish tonight for dinner and I felt that it was somewhat bland. I added a couple dashes of cayenne pepper and now it suits just fine.
