Why you will love this recipe:

  • Homemade is always best: You might be able to find a bottle of remoulade at the grocery store, if not online, but shelf-stable mayonnaise based spreads often contain ingredients that homemade versions do not.
  • Customize it: This recipe is so simple to make and you have the ability to tweak the ingredients to match your preferences. Like it spicy? Kick up the amount of Cajun seasoning or hot sauce. Like a little more salty tang? Add more pickle juice. You get the idea.

Recipe tips for perfect results:

  • Control the salt level: If you use my homemade Cajun seasoning mix, you will most likely add the recommended salt in the remoulade recipe because my spice mix is pretty low in salt. If you use store bought Cajun seasoning, however, add all of the ingredients except the salt, mix, taste, and add enough salt according to taste.
  • Storage: Any unused remoulade should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Probably best if used within 3-5 days. Stir well before eating.

FAQs:

Recipe origin

Remoulade is a cold aioli- or mayonnaise-based condiment that originated in France. It can contain a wide variety of ingredients that range from horseradish and paprika to anchovies, capers and a host of other items. While its original purpose may have been to serve with meats, it is now more often used as a condiment or dipping sauce, primarily for fish and seafood cakes (such as crab or salmon cakes).

Best way to enjoy it:

My version of the recipe is most similar to the type of remoulade you’ll find in Louisiana Creole cuisine. Remoulade tastes great with French fries, on top of roast beef, as a hot dog condiment, and a multitude of other applications. I personally like it with fried pickles or as a dip for artichokes.

Tartar sauce vs. remoulade

Both start with a mayonnaise base, but the main difference is in the pickles. Remoulade typically uses a tart salty pickle or pickle juice like from a dill pickle, capers or cornichon. The pickles used in tarter sauce tend to be sweeter. Remoulade also tends to have more of a spicy kick from cayenne pepper, hot sauce, or Cajun seasoning.
