Description

This classic New Orleans Remoulade Sauce is a tangy, spicy, and creamy condiment that pairs perfectly with seafood, sandwiches, and appetizers. Made with mayonnaise, Creole mustard, horseradish, and a blend of aromatic spices, this sauce brings authentic Southern flavor to your table in just minutes.


Ingredients

Remoulade Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Creole mustard (or whole grain mustard)
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish (not horseradish sauce)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (finely chopped and packed)
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce (such as Louisiana hot sauce)
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (or regular paprika)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 – 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on spice preference)


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all ingredients to a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Whisk together all ingredients until smooth and creamy, ensuring that the spices and herbs are evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
  3. Serve or Chill: Use immediately or refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld for a richer taste. Serve with seafood, sandwiches, or as a dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred spice level.
  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor.
  • The sauce can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week.
  • For a lighter version, substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Creole mustard adds authentic flavor, but whole grain mustard is a good substitute.
