New Orleans Remoulade Sauce Recipe

Name: New Orleans Remoulade Sauce Recipe
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 65 min
Ingredients: 1 cup mayonnaise; 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard; 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice; 1 tablespoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley; 1 tablespoon Louisiana-style hot sauce; 2 teaspoons whole-grain mustard; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 2 teaspoons capers, roughly chopped; 1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce; 1 teaspoon mild paprika; 1 scallion, finely chopped; 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Remoulade originated in France in a combination most closely resembling tarter sauce, bringing together mayonnaise, herbs, pickles, and capers. Of course, in the American spirit, we took this sauce, amped it up, and made it something all our own.

Louisiana remoulade starts with a mayo base as well, but then adds ingredient after ingredient to form a reddish complex sauce that's creamy, tart, and spicy. Traditionally served with seafood—great with shrimp, crab cakes, and fried fish fillets—my absolute favorite thing would be fried dill pickles. Those salty, sour crunchy chips are a perfect pairing in my book.
