how can i make a tartar sauce healthier?

Answer 1

You can use yoghurt instead of mayonnaise. Real tartar sauce contains all kinds of things, but you can keep it simple and lower fat and lower sugar by limiting the amount of pickle relish and mixing it with low fat yoghurt. The tanginess will be nice with fish.

Answer 2

Make it using low-fat evaporated milk as the mayonnaise base. Then add the other ingredients- gherkins, spring onions and parsley.

Low-fat Mayonnaise

2 cups cold water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup plain low-fat yogurt
2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 teaspoon horseradish

Whisk together water and cornstarch in a small saucepan.
Stir continously over a medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
Continue stirring and boiling for 1-2 minutes or until the mixture is clear.
Pour mixture into a bowl and whisk the remaining ingredients, in order listed.
Whisk.
Refrigerate in a tightly sealed container.
Should keep about 2 weeks.

Sorry to have to say this, but you probably eat so little of it, all things being considered, why bother? What is tartar sauce? Mayo, pickle relish, a little lemon juice.
