Homemade Tartar Sauce With Pickle Relish

1 cup mayonnaise ((such as Hellmann's or Duke's))

¼ cup sweet and/or dill pickle relish ((lightly but not completely drained--leave just a little bit of liquid))

1 tablespoon grated yellow or sweet onion ((I use Vidalia))

1 tablespoon chopped brined non-pareil capers (, drained)

½ teaspoon Dijon mustard

½ to 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

½ to 3 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice ((added to taste))

½ to 1 teaspoon granulated sugar ((optional, added to taste))

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper ((to taste))

In a medium bowl, stir together mayonnaise, relish, onion, capers, Dijon mustard, and ½ tablespoon fresh dill.
Season to taste with lemon juice, sugar (optional), additional dill (if needed), salt (only if needed), and pepper.
Cover the Tartar Sauce and refrigerate it for at least an hour, preferably 2-4 hours, or overnight for the flavors to meld. (It tastes better with time!)
Store in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for 5-7 days. Serve with your favorite seafood dishes or veggies. (See the "Serving" section in the article above for suggestions.)
