What Is Remoulade Sauce?

While originating in France, there are now many iterations of Remoulade Sauce that span throughout Europe and the United States. As Wikipedia points out, it was originally served with meat but now is a cold condiment or dipping sauce for everything from seafood to French fries to sandwiches.

Ingredients Needed

My easy, cajun-style recipe includes just a few ingredients that you may already have in the pantry and fridge.

How to Make Remoulade Sauce

As I said, this recipe is a no-brainer…

Add Ingredients

Add all the ingredients to a bowl.

Combine

Whisk the sauce until completely combined. Cover and set in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours, so the flavors can meld together.

FAQs

What is the best way to store this sauce?

In a jar or air-tight container in the refrigerator.

How long does homemade remoulade sauce last?

This condiment will last 1-2 weeks (maybe longer) in the refrigerator, assuming you used mayo that isn’t near its expiration date.

Can I freezer the sauce?

We don’t recommend freezing it. Our tests show that when it thaws, it will separate and the texture will get funky.

What to Serve With This Sauce

Fried or crispy oven-baked foods (especially seafood) pair well with this creamy, mildly spicy dipping sauce. Try it with some of these ideas…

  • We always use avocado oil mayonnaise because it has clean ingredients.
