Frequently Asked Questions for Vegan Tartar Sauce
Can I prep this ahead?
Yes! This vegan tartar sauce recipe can be made up to 2 weeks in advance. Just make sure to store in the refrigerator in an air tight container.
Can this be Top 8 Allergen Free Vegan Tartar Sauce?
As long as you are using a soy free vegan mayo, there are no other top allergens in this recipe.
Can I use it right away?
Once you’ve made your homemade vegan tartar sauce, you can use it right away; however, we highly recommend letting it sit for at least an hour. The longer the flavors have to come together, it tastes even better.
Can I make this oil free vegan tartar sauce?
The mayo in this recipe makes this not oil free; however, there are always ways around that.
For starters, you could easily just blend the remaining ingredients with an avocado. Avocados give the same creaminess as mayo and so it’s a great natural switch.
The only difference is that naturally avocados are green and so the sauce won’t be white.
Using avocados, along with homemade pickles would then also make this recipe raw vegan approved.
Another option would be to look up a recipe for homemade vegan mayo using cashews or tofu for another oil free option.
