Remoulade Sauce Recipe

This Louisiana-style remoulade sauce recipe is essentially flavored mayonnaise that’s taken to level 10. Perfect for po’ boys, crab cakes, or an awesome dipping sauce for so many things. Whip up a homemade version in minutes and get ready to dunk everything in it!

There’s nothing like a great sauce to elevate what would otherwise be sort of bland. What would Cobb salad be without Ranch dressing? Or Eggs Benedict be without Hollandaise? Or pasta without spaghetti sauce. Sad. They’d all be sad.

Then there’s Remoulade Sauce. I first had it while in Georgia over 15 years ago, served with fresh fried catfish. I’ve been hooked ever since.

Remoulade (pronounced reh-moo-lahd) is a classic mayonnaise-based sauce, which originated in France. Louisiana was the U.S. state that made it popular, though, and you won’t find many food joints (if any) around Louisiana that don’t serve their version with some deep-fried battered seafood.

Most remoulade sauce has mayonnaise, herbs, and pickles as the base. Louisiana-style remoulades also include mustard (and/or horseradish) and cajun seasonings. Around the New Orleans area, they even like to stir in chopped up hard boiled eggs. It reminds me of a cross between tartar sauce and Thousand Island dressing – creamy, tangy, spicy, and delicious!

NOTE: Remoulade sauce is like most classic recipes – there’s a basic concept with a million iterations. This is our version. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ready to make it? Grab a bowl, some measuring cups, and a whisk. Dump everything in a bowl and combine. That’s it! Its flavor is best after being chilled for at least an hour.

This sauce is typically used for deep-fried battered seafood like crab cakes and po’ boys, but there are so many more ways to enjoy it. Here are some ideas:
