This deliciously tangy sauce is way better than store-bought tartare sauce and perfect for fish, as a dip and so much more

Notes

If you are using fresh tarragon use a tablespoon of the fresh herb
Use half a shallot instead of the spring onions if you prefer
I have measured a serving as 1 tablespoon (about 20ml)
This will keep for up to a week in a lidded container in the fridge
