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.

How to Make Remoulade Sauce
As I said, this recipe is a no-brainer…

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
In a jar or air-tight container in the refrigerator.
This condiment will last 1-2 weeks (maybe longer) in the refrigerator, assuming you used mayo that isn’t near its expiration date.
We don’t recommend freezing it. Our tests show that when it thaws, it will separate and the texture will get funky.
