What is Tartar Sauce?

Tartar sauce is a traditional French dressing, commonly prepared with mayonnaise, chopped capers, olives and sliced pickles. There are many adaptations and variations on the sauce, and you can feel free to add and adjust to suit your own personal tastes. For our Keto-friendly tartar sauce, we have included the classic combination of mayonnaise, capers, olives and dill pickles. We have added extra olive oil to thin the dressing and provide an additional helping of Keto fats, as well as lemon juice for acidity and some fresh aromatic chopped dill. As with all our recipes, please make sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the ingredients.

Is Mayonnaise Keto?

Many store-bought varieties of mayonnaise contain extra additives, preservatives and sugars. In large quantities these are best avoided on a Keto diet. However, there are some store-bought versions that use minimal ingredients and are a great addition to a Keto diet when consumed in moderation. Better still, it is super easy to prepare your own low carb mayonnaise. We have a deliciously quick and easy recipe for Keto homemade mayonnaise which can be found in our sides section. This would make the perfect addition to this recipe if you cannot find a store-bought version that is suitable.
