Tastes Like Mc Donald's Tartar Sauce - Copycat

This does NOT taste like McDonald's tartar sauce. McDonald's tartar sauce isn't this sweet or this bland. I'm going to attempt to make tartar sauce again in the future using dill relish instead of the sweet, some of the juice from the pickles, and maybe some lemon juice and prepared mustard and see if I can obtain better results. Sorry. :(

I think a "taste bud"check might just be necessary.! I could tell from merely reading the recipe that this is not like the tartar sauce used on the fish sandwich at McDonald's, the tartar sauce IS the only redeeming part of that sandwich. DILL pickle relish is used, NOT sweet pickle relish. I always use "Vlasic" dill relish, it's the closest to "the real thing"... Bon Appetit!

I tasted and tasted McDonald's tarter sauce and I know they used dill, relish it isn't sweet. I asked for and they gave me some extra. I made my version using Best Food (Hellmans) and Vlasic Dill Relish. My family could not tell the difference in a blind taste test. So simple and so right.

Everyone is right, this is all wrong! In a blind taste test using family, friends, and coworkers, none of them could tell the difference between the 2 using THIS ?? recipe, and trust me, neither will you ~ 1/2 cup Hellmanns Mayo(can use any brand, just my preference) 1/4 cup DILL Pickle Relish 12 - 15 capers, minced 2 tsp dried minced onion 2 tsp milk or half & half 1 tsp parsley flakes 1/2 tsp lemon juice 1/8 tsp granulated sugar Combine all the ingredients together and chill for a few hours before using to insure the flavors "meld" together nicely
