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.

Storage Tip

This condiment will last 1-2 weeks (maybe longer) in the refrigerator, assuming you used mayo that isn’t near it’s expiration date. However, we don’t recommend freezing it. 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…
