I especially like that I can make just the amount I need for a meal - there's no half-used bottle of sauce getting old at the back of the fridge.
If you're really in a rush, omit the onion and the parsley. You'll still end up with a respectably good tartar sauce. This recipe is easily halved or multiplied, so you can exactly what you need for one meal.

- Add other seasonings to the sauce. How about some fresh or dried dill, or tarragon, or cajun seasoning, or chives?
- Jazz up the tartar sauce with your choice of additions. Try some chopped capers, or garlic, or chopped hard-boiled egg. How about a bit of hot pepper sauce, or Worcestershire sauce, or mustard?
