Remoulade (reh-moo-lahd) is a classic
French sauce. Remoulade sauce is found all over the world in many
dishes such as in Louisiana, Germany and Scandinavian countries. There
are as many versions of this rich mayonnaise base rémoulade as there are
cooks who make it.

family recipe that is simple to make from scratch.
Learning how to make a rémoulade sauce from scratch is a quick and easy process that results in endless variation possibilities. All remoulades are
based on either oil or mayonnaise. Some folks make it similar to a tartar sauce and use a yellow mustard for the distinct yellow color. Other people use garlic,
paprika and Cajun seasonings. However, alot of folks have their own “secret
