REMOULADE SAUCE

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

A Remoulade sauce is a tangy sauce that’s perfect of sandwiches, po-boys, crab cakes, burgers.

This is a mix of ingredients that most everyone has in their kitchen already. I really love it on my Fried green tomato BLT recipe, but I’ve found its good with so many other foods. You can kick up a boring turkey sandwich or burger with this remoulade. Use as a dip for crab cakes or fried shrimp, the possibilities are endless.

What is remoulade?

Remoulade sauce is a tartar sauce with an attitude!

Remoulade is traditionally from France and is a combination of mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, shallots, capers, chopped pickles, and/or fresh herbs. It is also used in Creole cuisine on po-boys and as a dip for seafood cakes, like a tartar sauce. In Belgium it is used as a dip for French fries. Simply put, it is delicious.

You can purchase remoulade sauce in your local grocery store but if you already have these basic ingredients then why spend the money?

You can see that there are many variations to making a remoulade sauce and I’m going to share with you just one of mine. I’ve lightened this sauce up a bit by using light mayonnaise and light sour cream. I went a little light on the horseradish because I didn’t want it to overpower my Fried green tomato sandwich. I have used Greek yogurt in lieu of the sour cream and it is just as good. Pickle juice or chopped pickles are a good substitute for the vinegar in this recipe too. Add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for some heat.

This sauce keeps for 4 days in the refrigerator, it will separate a little bit so just give it a stir.
