Remoulade sauce is a popular condiment or dipping sauce, usually paired with shrimp and crab seafood, cold meats, and fried foods.
A cold smooth sauce made with a mayonnaise base, garlic, onions, mustard, parsley, other fresh herbs, and seasonings. Variations of remoulade are found all over the world, from France to Louisiana, USA.
Drizzle on baked salmon or fried fish, on vegetables, or use it as a sandwich spread. Dip hot french fries in it or dollup on scrumptious crab cakes...

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-style remoulades), 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.
