Tartar Sauce

This is a quick and easy tartar sauce that is made with items I usually have on hand. It tastes great and can be tweaked to your liking. There really is no need for me to have store-bought tartar sauce and instead I can make small batches on demand. I tested two batches of this, one which I let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and another that I tasted right away. While I do think that the sauce that rests tastes a little better in that the mayonnaise flavor is not as strong, it is perfectly fine to eat right away. However, you may want to add a little less mayonnaise and/or add some more acidity with dill pickles or vinegar for the non-rested version.
