Low Calorie Tartar Sauce

Low Calorie Tartar Sauce

This Low Calorie Tartar Sauce is just 9 calories per 1/8 cup! It’s also low carb and low sugar.

Best of all, it’s actually healthy! Because I swap out the unhealthy mayonnaise, for my signature Greek yogurt and dijon mustard mix (which tastes just like mayo!)

And if you are opposed to removing all the mayo, I supplied a reader tip in the recipe card below. Where I share a long time reader’s combo of both, instead of removing all the mayo.

Ingredients in Healthy Tartar Sauce

To sweeten this recipe, I use an all-natured zero calorie maple syrup. But you can use regular maple syrup or honey and it won’t increase the calories by much at all. So choose what works best for your diet and budget.

And I find that the the recipe tastes best when I get the whole pickles or spears and chop those, but that might just be in my head. Choose whatever dill pickles you have in the fridge or that you will use in future recipes and don’t worry about it.

How to Make Greek Yogurt Tartar Sauce

If all the chopping is too labor intensive for you, feel free to add everything into a small food processor and blend until smooth.

But I like it a little chunky, so I chop it all by hand. Choose what works best for you, the recipe will still be delicious.

Best of all, it's made with no mayonnaise, so it's actually good for you! And instead I use Greek yogurt (which actually boosts metabolism!)
Special Tip: If you are wary of using Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise, use 1/2 greek yogurt and 1/2 mayo (and omit the dijon mustard). It will still be much healthier and lower in calories than an traditional tartar sauce.
