Remoulade Sauce Recipe
Description
The Remoulade Sauce Recipe combines mayonnaise and grainy mustard with horseradish, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice to create a flavorful creamy sauce. Smoky paprika and Cajun seasoning add subtle heat and complexity, while fresh parsley offers a mild herbal note. The mixture is simply combined and refrigerated to deepen the flavors, though it can also be served straight away. The sauce’s texture is smooth with bits of mustard seed and parsley for interest.
The final sauce delivers a balance of tanginess from the lemon and mustard, gentle heat from cayenne and Cajun spices, and a creamy base from the mayonnaise. This makes it versatile for use as a condiment with fried or grilled seafood, sandwiches, or even as a zesty salad dressing base.
Careful adjustment of salt is recommended depending on the saltiness of the Cajun seasoning used. The note on mustard types suggests that availability of ingredients may vary without compromising the character of the sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons grainy mustard or Creole mustard
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon horseradish creamed
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning (I used Tony Chachere's)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional
- 1 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Combine the mayo, mustard, garlic, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and parsley in a small bowl. Refrigerate until needed (I like to let the flavors sit for a while, but you can serve it immediately).
Notes
- Adjust salt according to the salt content of your Cajun seasoning, especially if using blends like Tony Chachere's.
- If Creole mustard is unavailable, wholegrain mustard works well as a substitute.
- Letting the sauce chill before serving helps the flavors blend and develop.
