Remoulade Sauce

You only need 10 ingredients to make this easy remoulade recipe! Creamy and tangy, with a spicy kick, it's a delicious dipping sauce or condiment.

Creamy and tangy, with a delicious spicy kick, this remoulade is my favorite sauce of the moment. I’ve been slathering it on veggie burgers, serving it with French fries, and setting it out with these addictive air fryer fried pickles. We even loved it on the grilled sweet potatoes we made last week! All that’s to say, if you’re looking for an easy sauce to punch up a meal, this remoulade might be just the thing.

Classic French remoulade resembles tartar sauce. It has a mayonnaise base, and capers or gherkins and fresh herbs are often mixed in. This recipe is more akin to a Creole, or Louisiana-style, remoulade. I stir in paprika for color and complexity, and hot sauce and cayenne add heat. While this style of sauce would traditionally be served on po’ boys, crab cakes, or with fried fish, I can attest that it’s just as good on anything veggie. Make a batch, and you won’t have any trouble finding different ways to use it!

Remoulade Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this easy remoulade recipe:

• Mayonnaise – It creates the sauce’s creamy base. Better mayo will make a better remoulade, so I recommend using a really good one, like Sir Kensington’s. Vegan mayo will work here too.
• Mustard – It gives the sauce sharp, tangy flavor. Dijon mustard, Creole mustard, and yellow mustard are all fair game!
• Hot sauce and cayenne – For heat.
• Paprika – For bold color and peppery flavor.
• Garlic, scallion, and onion powder – They add savory, oniony flavor.
• And fresh lemon juice – For brightness.

Something I really love about this recipe is that, unlike many of my other favorite sauces, you don’t need a food processor or blender in order to make it.

Just add all the ingredients to a bowl…

…and stir to combine! Before serving, season to taste. That’s it!
