In a small glass mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir well until fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a spread, dip, or sauce as desired.
Refrigerate the sauce in an airtight, non-reactive container for up to 24 hours for the best flavor. It can last a couple of days but may lose its freshness after that.
For a brighter flavor, add a little extra fresh lemon juice just before serving.
Make sure to finely chop the cornichons and capers to ensure a balanced texture in the sauce.
Can I use this sauce for dishes other than Reuben sandwiches?
Yes, this sauce is versatile and works well as a spread for chicken, turkey, or fish sandwiches, a dip for chicken tenders and fish fingers, or a sauce for grilled or roasted meats and vegetables.
How long can I store this sauce?
The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight, non-reactive container for up to 24 hours. It may last a couple of days but will start to lose its flavor and texture after that.
Can I make this sauce ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the sauce ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. This also allows the flavors to meld together for a more robust taste.
What can I substitute for cornichons?
If you don’t have cornichons, you can use finely chopped dill pickles as a substitute.
Can I adjust the consistency of the sauce?
Yes, if you prefer a smoother sauce, you can blend the ingredients. For a chunkier texture, ensure the cornichons and capers are finely chopped but not blended.
