Remoulade Sauce
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup of mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard or zesty brown mustard
- 2 tablespoons of finely chopped baby gherkin pickles
- 2 tablespoons of minced chives
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons of Louisiana-style hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of prepared horseradish
- 1 teaspoon of Cajun spice blend
- 1/2 teaspoon of sweet paprika
Instructions
Step 1
To start creating your remoulade sauce, grab a medium bowl and add in the mayonnaise and mustard. Use a whisk to blend these together until they form a smooth base. Next, chop up your pickles, chives, and parsley finely, then toss them into the bowl. Follow that with a few dashes of hot sauce, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, and a spoonful of horseradish for a zesty kick. Finally, sprinkle in the Cajun seasoning and paprika, and give everything a good whisk until the mixture is well combined and creamy. Look at that beautiful blend of colors—you're off to a great start!
Step 2
To make your remoulade sauce ahead of time, start by transferring the sauce into an airtight container. Make sure the container is clean and dry to keep the flavors fresh. Once you’ve packed it away, pop it into the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to two weeks. This way, you can enjoy your remoulade whenever the craving strikes, whether it's for a delicious dip or a zesty topping!

My Tip
For a zesty kick, let your remoulade sauce sit in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This resting time allows the flavors from the chives, parsley, and horseradish to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
Leftovers
To store leftover remoulade sauce, transfer it to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and keep it in the fridge for up to a week. No need to reheat this sauce—just give it a good stir before serving to refresh its flavors!
Make It Your Own
For a tangy twist, swap the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt to lighten it up, and add a teaspoon of capers for an extra burst of flavor. This variation keeps the creamy texture while enhancing the sauce with a zesty kick!
