Notes

*You can use your favorite brand of mayo, but I usually lean towards Hellmann's or Dukes. I like to do a half-and-half mix of mayonnaise and yogurt because the yogurt lightens up the sauce and makes the flavor slightly brighter. You can use regular-style yogurt for a thinner sauce or Greek-style yogurt for a thicker sauce. Or substitute with more mayonnaise for an ultra-rich and thick tartar sauce.
