This vegetarian version of a classic tartare sauce is created by blending eggless mayo, chopped gherkins and parsley. It is a must-have accompaniment to fish fingers, beer-batter fried fish and chips. It also accompanies crumb-fried prawns or squids equally well. For vegetarians, this dip can be paired with fried or crispy fried snacks such as potato wedges, cheese shots, hash browns.
