The tartar sauce you buy in the stores is loaded with creepy and downright-unhealthy ingredients: soybean oil, corn syrup, artificial flavors, chemical preservatives, and more.  Did you know making your own condiments isn’t actually difficult?  Also, when you make your own condiments, it also gives you a chance to sneak in superfoods — like the nutritious bacon fat in this recipe (yep, you read that right! Bacon fat is GOOD for you!!!)

This homemade avocado tartar sauce recipe is really creamy, easy to make, and will last for about one week in the fridge.
