5-Minute Remoulade Sauce

Originally from France, remoulade sauce has made its way into the US and greater Europe. There are many varieties or adaptations along the way. From adding more spices and herbs to adding condiments.

Key Ingredients in This Recipe

You’ll find the complete list of ingredients and exact quantities in the recipe below.

• Mustard – Dijon mustard, let’s keep in French and traditional.
• Mayonnaise – For the creamy base flavor. I used the full fat version, because if you want creamy you need to use creamy.
• Lemon juice – A drip of brightness, acidity and zest.
• Garlic – A traditional French recipe needs garlic.
• Capers – They add lemony tang and brininess the sauce.
• Pickles – Pickles add more acidity, tanginess, and a little crunch.
• Sugar, paprika, salt & pepper
• Parsley – For color.

How to Make 5-Minute Remoulade Sauce

No cooking is required for this recipe. There are 3 ingredients that you’ll need to chop, the rests can be used as is. These are 3 tiny steps that stand between now and a sauce.

• Step 1 – Finely chop the capers, pickles, garlic (if you use fresh garlic instead of paste) and parsley.
• Step 2 – Mix all ingredients.
• Step 3 – Taste and add/adjust. E.g.:
  • Add more salt & pepper (if the flavors are not coming through)
  • Add a little bit more lemon juice (if it is not tangy/zesty enough)
  • Add a little bit more sugar (if the acidity is too much for you).

Alternatives and Substitutes

• Use coarse mustard instead of Dijon. Increases the spiciness of the sauce.
• Use low-fat mayo instead of full-fat. This will make the sauce less creamy.
• Use lime juice instead of lemon juice.
• Use garlic paste instead of fresh garlic.
• Parsley can be replaced with cilantro, but has a more distinct flavor.
• You can add hot sauce and horseradish – which makes it a more Creole-type recipe.
• Anchovies paste for extra saltiness.

I hope you will enjoy try this Remoulade Sauce on your fish or chicken, or French fries (that would be appropriate).
