So, how do you make McDonald’s Tartar Sauce? To make a Tartar sauce similar to the one found at McDonald’s, you will need to blend a mixture of ingredients together to make an emulsion. You can use an automatic blender, food processor, or hand blender to mix the ingredients together.
It’s actually very simple and you only need a handful of ingredients.
Let’s get into it

McDonalds Tartar Sauce Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup of Full-Fat Plain Mayonnaise,
- 3 Tablespoons of Dill Pickle Relish

McDonalds Tartar Sauce Instructions
Step One: Purchase all of your ingredients and have them to hand.
Step Two: Weigh out the ingredients, then mix all of the mayonnaise, capers, parsley, salt,, sugar and half of the relish and onion together using a blender, food processor, or mixing device.
Step Three: Add the remaining relish and onion to the blended tartar mixture.
Step Four: If your tartar sauce is too thick, you can always add in a tablespoon of milk to make the sauce runnier.
Step Five: Transfer to an air-tight container for refrigeration. Tupperware, a glass bottle, or a jar works well here.
Step Six: Serve after 1-3 hours of refrigeration, or store for up to 5-7 days.
After a few days, you may notice the sauce starts to change color and does not look as appetizing.
It is at the juncture you may need to make some more from scratch.
