Exactly what is Remoulade Sauce?

Let's cut right to the chase... There are a million ways to make remoulade sauce. The only constant is that there is mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, and hot sauce in basically every version.

From there, you can add (or not) pickles or capers, green onions, lemon juice or vinegar, cayenne or horseradish, paprika, garlic, worcestershire... it really just depends on your taste!

What do you eat it with?

Most recently I served it on these oyster po'boys, but it's also great on crab cakes, fried green tomatoes, fried squash, and homemade french fries! Make this sauce ahead of time because the longer it sits, the better it gets... let it sit for at least an hour before serving. Overnight is even better.

Love all Cajun and Creole foods like we do? We were able to get the Jambalaya Recipe from the famous New Orleans restaurant, Mother's, and they graciously allowed us to share. This is one you'll want to make on a weekend. It takes a while, but is well worth it.

For a quicker, but still delicious version try this recipe for Easy Jambalaya. It takes the guesswork out of getting the rice done just right.

    My local grocery store does not carry stone ground mustard. Is there a substitute I can use?

      I’m sorry, I meant that my grocery store does not carry whole-grain mustard. Is there a substitute I can use?

        Another mustard will work! I don't know that I would go all the way to yellow, but stone-ground, brown mustard, or dijon will work!

    Found this recipe and boy am I glad I did. Was a total hit. Made fried green tomatoes and was looking for something special to use as a sauce. This was just the thing! Super creamy, tangy! Perfect in my opinion. I made no substitutions. The capers worried me with combining with red wine vinegar (thought it was going to be too "sour") but it was amazing.

      I wouldn't hesitate to keep it 5-7 days as long as it's tightly covered in the fridge.
