Ingredients
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons pickles chopped
- 1 teaspoon non-pareil capers minced

Notes
- Non-pareil capers have a more subtle flavor and delicate texture than larger regular capers. We prefer the taste of smaller, non-pareil capers in this recipe.
- Cajun seasoning contains salt, so there is no need to add any more to this recipe.
- Let homemade Cajun tartar sauce sit in the refrigerator 30 minutes to an hour to let the flavors meld before serving. This is a great sauce to make ahead.
