To prepare this spicy sauce, you should purchase all the necessary ingredients in advance. Before starting the process, make sure that your kitchen has:
- Four fresh eggs.
- 120 grams of olive oil.
- One large pickled cucumber.
- A tablespoon of chopped green onions.
- Forty grams of pickled mushrooms.
- Half a glass of sour cream.
- Forty grams of mustard.
In addition, in order for you to get a traditional Tartar sauce, you need to expand the above list a little. Additionally, add a couple of cloves of garlic and a tablespoon of lemon juice. By the way, if necessary, the last component can be replaced with vinegar.
First, hard-boil two chicken eggs and, separating the yolks from the whites, grind them with mustard. Combine the resulting mass with the two remaining raw yolks and beat them with a mixer, gradually adding olive oil.
At the next stage, chopped green onions, garlic, mushrooms, boiled proteins and cucumber are added to the resulting mixture. Granulated sugar, lemon juice, sour cream and salt are also added there. Mix everything thoroughly and transfer it to a previously prepared clean container. Classic served with fish or meat. They are also used to stuff potatoes, eggs, mushrooms and tomatoes.
Recipe with mayonnaise
To prepare this option you will need a certain set of products. Therefore, go to the store in advance and buy all the missing ingredients. Your list should include:

- Two hundred grams of pickled cucumbers.
- Dill greens.
To make a truly delicious sauce with pickles, you don’t need to have any specific culinary skills. To do this, it is enough to strictly follow the recommended ratio of components.
Pickled and fresh cucumbers are processed using a coarse grater. The garlic and chopped dill, passed through a press, are sent to the same bowl. The resulting mass is seasoned with a mixture of mayonnaise and sour cream. You can serve immediately, but it’s still better to leave it in the refrigerator for half an hour. During this time, the pickled cucumber and mayonnaise will have time to brew. It goes well with meat and fish dishes.

This option is so simple that even an inexperienced housewife can handle its preparation without any problems. As in all previous cases, it is important to purchase all the necessary components in advance. To make a delicious sauce with pickles, be sure to check if you have in your kitchen:
- Twenty grams of cilantro and dill each.
- One large cucumber.
- Two hundred grams of natural yogurt.
- Five cloves of garlic.
- Salt and pepper.
In one bowl, combine pre-chopped greens, pressed garlic, diced cucumbers and yogurt. Salt, pepper and mix everything thoroughly. After this, the sauce is sent to the refrigerator for an hour. During this time, it will have time to brew and become more fragrant.
Red sauce with finely chopped pickles
The dressing prepared according to this recipe has an unusual shade. This is due to the use of a non-standard set of components. Before starting the process, make sure you have on hand:
- Three hundred grams of tomatoes in their own juice.
- Three pickled cucumbers.
- One hundred grams of shallots.
- A couple of cloves of garlic.
- Half a teaspoon of tarragon.
- Five milliliters of lemon juice.
- Two tablespoons of olive oil.
Pre-washed and chopped shallots are fried until a beautiful golden hue appears. Then put the garlic passed through a press, grated cucumbers and tomatoes in their own juice into the same frying pan. Mix everything thoroughly and simmer for twenty minutes. At the very end, the finished sauce with pickles is seasoned with tarragon and lemon juice.
During the season of fresh vegetables, we can afford to eat a varied, tasty, healthy diet. Perhaps the most commonly purchased vegetable is cucumbers: they are inexpensive and make excellent appetizers and salads.

Salad with cucumbers and mayonnaise - general principles
To a greater extent, this salad is intended for the everyday table. But other components added to the dish: tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, meat, cheese, mushrooms, eggs, will make the dish worthy of any special event. A salad with cucumbers and mayonnaise would also be a good idea for a picnic.
The cooking process itself is simple: the cucumbers are thoroughly washed and peeled. An important point here: if you bought greenhouse or country vegetables and are confident in the quality and youth of the fruit, then it is better to leave the peel - it is a storehouse of vitamins. Cucumbers purchased in stores should be soaked in cold water for a while and then peeled - this way you will rid the vegetables of nitrates.
Next, the cucumbers are cut. It’s a good idea to taste the vegetables before slicing; it happens that one bitter cucumber ends up in the salad, which ultimately ruins the whole dish. Depending on the recipe, cucumbers are cut into circles, slices, crescents, or strips. But it is not recommended to grate the vegetable: grated cucumber loses its inherent taste, crunch and freshness.
Mayonnaise can be used both store-bought and homemade. When purchasing this component, carefully read the composition; it should not contain various preservatives, dyes, thickeners and other “chemicals”. The benefits of a salad made from fresh cucumbers and artificial mayonnaise are questionable. It’s better to prepare mayonnaise yourself, especially since there’s nothing complicated about it: just beat well, stir and infuse a minimum of ingredients: eggs, vegetable oil, a little sugar and salt, any acid (lemon juice, vinegar) and mustard, herbs, herbs or other additional components.

Thick, very fresh and light sauce. It tastes nothing like the fatty mayonnaise that serves as its base. In principle, tartar sauce made from mayonnaise is all-season, because it can be made even in winter, because supermarkets sell bunches of greens at any time of the year. However, it is most delicious in the spring, when parsley is especially fresh and juicy. For this tartar sauce, you can use homemade mayonnaise, we prepare it in the store.
This sauce goes well with dumplings, boiled eggs (you can make a wonderful, quick salad from it and eggs), as well as pizza, fish or meat. Well, if you like to eat before your favorite TV series, you can dip pieces of quartered baked potatoes or croutons into this sauce - only in this case, all the ingredients need to be cut very finely.

How to make tartar sauce from mayonnaise with pickled cucumbers
The greens need to be washed, dried and finely chopped. You can use either parsley or dill - the taste will change slightly. Or you can take both types of greens.
Peel the garlic and crush it in a garlic press. And besides, instead of garlic cloves, you can take Italian garlic paste - one teaspoon.
Remove the cucumbers from the brine and cut into small cubes. Or you can grate it on a coarse grater (for crackers - on a medium grater). 
Add Mayo. There is no need to add salt, as cucumbers provide enough salt. 
Mix all ingredients. 
You can store the sauce in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for no more than 4 days.
