Remoulade is a cold French sauce with a mayonnaise base. Its original purpose was possibly for serving with meats, but today is served as a condiment or dipping sauce, primarily with fried foods, fish, shrimp, and crab, as a sandwich spread, and on vegetables.
Although similar to tartar sauce, it is often an orange color (Louisiana Remoulade), and variations are made with different ingredients around the world.
Remoulade will keep refrigerated for two weeks. Store in an inexpensive plastic squeeze bottle or an airtight container.
