Remoulade Sauce Recipe

Remoulade (pronounced reh-moo-lahd) is a classic mayonnaise-based sauce, which originated in France. Louisiana was the U.S. state that made it popular, though, and you won’t find many food joints (if any) around Louisiana that don’t serve their version with some deep-fried battered seafood.

NOTE: Remoulade sauce is like most classic recipes – there’s a basic concept with a million variations. This is one version and here’s what you’ll need:

• Mayonnaise:Mayonnaise is the base of this sauce and I really don’t recommend substitutions. I’ve made it with plain Greek yogurt and it was ok, but just not the same.
• Mustard: If you can find creole mustard, that’s ideal, but I often just use Spicy brown and it totally gets the job done.
• Paprika:You can use regular paprika (which is sweet) or smoked paprika, depending on your flavor preference.
• Horseradish:Use prepared Horseradish.
• Creole seasoning:Creole seasoning is made from a mix of onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, basil, thyme, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika and salt. Some brands are crazy salty, though, so start with the amount listed in the recipe and adjust from there. Cajun seasoning is also good. I’ve also heard of people using Old Bay, although I haven’t tried that in this recipe.
• Pickle juice:You can use dill or sweet, depending on your preference.
• Lemon Juice:Adds a bright tanginess.
• Hot sauce:Either Tabasco or Sriracha.
• Garlic: Fresh garlic that’s been minced. You want the garlic flavor, but not chunks or it.

Have a safe and Happy 4^th!
