Red Lobster Tartar Sauce Recipe

Ever wanted to bring the flavor of Red Lobster's famous tartar sauce into your own kitchen? With just five simple ingredients, you can recreate this classic condiment that pairs perfectly with seafood and more. I love that it only takes a few minutes to make, yet yields such a rich and tangy taste.You'll need mayonnaise, finely chopped onions, relish, a touch of grated carrot, and a hint of sugar to balance the flavors. Letting the sauce chill for a bit allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
