Vegan Tartar Sauce is so easy to make at home, and goes perfectly with Vegan Fish Sticks and other “fishy” foods! Ready in just 5 minutes.
I never liked fish growing up, but my parents forced me to eat it quite regularly. The only way I could get it down was to drown it in tartar sauce!
Making your own vegan tartar sauce at home is so easy, plus it tastes a million times better than a store-bought jar. Use tartar sauce on all the vegan “fishy” foods (recipe coming in a few days for Vegan Fish Sticks!).
Ingredients
- Vegan Mayo – I used my cashew based vegan mayo, but you can use a store-bought version if you’d like.
- Dill Pickles – chopped very fine, OR use dill pickle relish
- Dried or Fresh Dill
- Lemon Juice
How to make it
It couldn’t be easier! Just throw everything into a bowl, and give it a stir. Keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.
What to serve tartar sauce with?
- Vegan Fish Sticks (recipe coming, stay tuned!)
- A dip for fries (try my Oven Roasted Potato Wedges)
- Any vegan “fishy” recipes or products, homemade or packaged, such as Gardein Fishless Fillets, Quorn Fishless Sticks, etc.

Be careful with the lemon! I did not measure the suggested 2 tbsp, and instead went with “about 1 lemon,” and my lemon must have been extra juicy because it was WAY too much and watery consistency. Flavor was great though so still giving 5 stars since it was my mistake. 🙂 Thanks, Nora!
We tried your tartar sauce with vegan fish and chips. It was such a hit, it led to a couple of lonesome bottles of ketchup and hot sauce.
Another winner, Nora. Thank you. Keep ’em comin’!
You are welcome, Stefan! Thanks for your encouraging feedback! I’m workin’ on it! I appreciate you!

Had some of this tartar sauce left over from dinner a few days ago.
I also had a partial head of cabbage I needed to finish off.
I chopped up the cabbage, added some chopped onion and used your tartar sauce for a dressing.
It was the best cabbage slaw I have ever tasted.
Your recipes are the best.
I love your idea for your leftover cabbage! Thanks for sharing your great review and comments!
This was so good! I added onion/garlic powder, salt and pepper for a kick. Really creamy. I love your recipes, always delicious and easy!
Thanks so much!
I made this recipe exactly as written, and it was delicious. It was very easy to whip up, and I used your cashew mayo recipe as the base. I really love how healthy sauces can make dinner so much better. Another fantastic recipe, Nora! Thank you.
