Tartare sauce has less calories than mayonnaise, we find out which are
the best alternatives.
Tartare Sauce
We all know tartare as the classic fish sauce but it can be just as
compatible with many other foods. The WLR taste team has given their
verdict on a few of the tartare sauces available.
Marks & Spencer
Our tasters went for this one; hook, line and sinker.
It was chunky and tangy without being too vinegary. Highly
recommended.

Coleman's
Tangy, flavourful and just a hint of vinegar, this was
quite popular with the tasters. Possibly too strong for
some but definitely worth a try.

Tesco
Tesco received a reasonable response for their effort.
A bit too reminiscent of McDonald’s McChicken Sandwich
sauce for some. Quite low in calories compared to other
brands.

Waitrose
There were a range of opinions given for this one
although all
the tasters agreed it had a creamy, vinegary, not too
sweet taste. As an
overall rating we would have to say: average.

Sainsburys
There was an uninspired reaction for Sainsbury’s sauce.
Perhaps the French Mayo style was not for our panel. Also,
having the highest calories of the bunch this is not one
you would want to reel in.

Conclusion
There does seem to be a bit of a gap in the low-calorie tartare sauce
market. We had to open up this challenge to include the heavyweights.
Marks & Spencer's came out on top with Coleman's and Tesco close
behind. These were three quite different styles of sauce but each of them
could give a dish that something extra.
