This Keto Tartare Sauce has been taken to a whole new level. It is a stellar recipe that is so easy to make!

Growing up as a pescatarian I possibly ate more tartare sauce than most people. A dollop or two with fish or prawns and I was happy. So for me to make a slightly different version is a big thing. Not that I am talking about the no additives or sweeteners, but moreso a few additional ingredients that really make it shine!

Keto Tartare Sauce Ingredients

A super simple low carb tartare sauce recipe has ingredients that you can find in most supermarkets, or even your own pantry and fridge.

The Easy Keto Mayonnaise recipe is here on the website so just click the link to get the very easy recipe now. Alternatively you can use any store bought mayonnaise.

I add the usual ingredients found in a tartare sauce like parsley, dill pickle and capers but I add a little something extra. Celery is delicious in this sauce. It adds a little fresh crunch and goes perfectly with seafood or chicken as well. The Old Bay Seasoning is either found in specialty stores, or I have a recipe for it in my Lunch Time Keto Cookbook.
