Tarter sauce is one of those condiments we usually pick up at our local grocery. But this homemade version is simple and tastes better without all the preservatives. It is the perfect accompaniment to the Fried Catfish.

1 cup mayonnaise
1 sweet pickle, chopped
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 tbsp. grated peeled yellow onion
1/2 tsp. dried tarragon (or dried dill)
Hot sauce

1. Mix together mayonnaise, sweet pickle, lemon juice, onion, tarragon (or dill), and hot sauce to taste.

2. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Store in refrigerator up to 1 week.
