Optional Extras

Give your tartare sauce an extra zing with these optional extras! Add crushed or minced garlic for a savoury, pungent flavour. Go for a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce for a deeper umami taste. Spice it up with some Tabasco or hot sauce, or add a hint of heat with dijon mustard. For extra richness, finish it off with a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
