TARTAR SAUCE
Packed with crunchy, sharp zing from onion, and tang and savoriness from capers, this homemade tartar sauce delivers bold freshness. Once you've mixed the base below, you can stir in more of whichever ingredients you most enjoy. And if you don't like the bite of raw onion, you can soak it in cold water for 10 minutes and drain before stirring it in. Thick yet spreadable, this works as a dip, too.

PYAZ KA LACCHA (RAW ONION RELISH)
These floppy, lightly pickled onions are a traditional accompaniment to grilled and tandoor foods throughout India and the rest of South Asia. There are different versions depending on the region, but all are seasoned with salt, spiked with chile (either powdered or fresh) and brightened with some kind of acid, usually lemon juice or vinegar. This recipe, adapted from "Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking" (Barron's, 1983), uses a combination of sweet paprika and cayenne for an earthy, nuanced flavor, and you can add the spices to taste, making this as fiery or mild as you like. Soaking the onion slices in water before mixing the relish helps soften their sharpness, but you can skip this step if you prefer a stronger onion flavor.

Steps:
- Put onions in a bowl and cover with cold water. Set aside to soak for 15 minutes. (This removes some of the onion's bite, but you can skip this step if you'd like a stronger onion flavor.)
- Drain onions and thoroughly pat dry. Return onions to the bowl and stir in lemon juice, salt, paprika and cayenne. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld before serving. Taste and add more salt, lemon and spices, if you like.
- Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Serve alongside grilled or roasted meats and fish; stuff into sandwiches, especially grilled cheese or tuna salad; use as a topping for pizza, burgers and hot dogs; scramble into eggs; toss into salads, especially starchy grain and potato salads.
RANCH DRESSING WITH FRESH HERBS
Although the original ranch dressing was made with ingredients like garlic powder and dried dill, fresh herbs and real garlic give this dressing a much brighter taste - and a pretty pale green color. This dressing is adapted from the restaurant Emily in Brooklyn, N.Y., one of the first pizzerias in New York City to serve ranch dressing. It's still a controversial combination in Brooklyn, but the chef Matt Hyland's dressing is uncontroversially delicious.
