Name: Baby Friendly Tarter Sauce
Ingredients: 3 tbsp whole milk greek yogurt or sour cream; 1 tbsp pickle juice; 1/4 tsp garlic powder; 1/4 tsp dried dill

This recipe is for 6 month old baby & up

My kids love a good dip and it’s a fun way to introduce different foods and flavors to them. This gentle, flavorful dip is a yummy twist on a traditional tarter sauce, made with milder ingredients that are safe for young babies to eat. This creamy, baby-safe tartar sauce can also be a nutritious addition to family meals. Greek yogurt, as the base, is rich in protein and calcium, supporting your baby’s growing bones and muscles. By making your own tartar sauce at home, you can control the ingredients and skip unnecessary additives or excess salt, making it healthier for babies. Plus, this homemade dip can encourage self-feeding and help develop a baby’s fine motor skills as they dip and eat soft foods. It’s a versatile, flavorful addition that makes mealtime more exciting for little ones. Dips are a great way to encourage kids or toddlers to eat, making mealtime more enjoyable for them.

This dip works well with soft, steamed vegetables like carrots, broccoli, or zucchini. You can also use it for baby-friendly fish, such as baked or steamed cod, salmon, or tilapia. This way, you’re introducing your baby to different flavors and food combinations. It goes well alongside some baked sweet potato wedges or baked white potato wedges, whatever you and your little one prefers!

Try it with my Fish & Chips recipe, an amazing family-friendly meal that everyone enjoys! Or you can put it on the side of Broccoli Sweet Potato Fritters, encouraging your kids to eat some veggies.
