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.

What Is in Remoulade Sauce?

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

ingredients for easy remoulade sauce

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Mayonnaise
  • Fresh lemon juice
  • Green onion (just 1)
  • Dijon mustard
  • Old Bay seasoning (or any Cajun seasoning blend)
  • Cayenne pepper (or hot sauce)

Video Tutorial

Watch our short tutorial to see how this recipe comes together.

How to Make Remoulade Sauce

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

Add Ingredients

To a bowl, add the mayo, Dijon, lemon juice, green onion, Old Bay seasoning, and cayenne.

Combine

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

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…
