Remoulade

Rémoulade is a delightful French cold sauce that bears some resemblance to tartar sauce but stands out with a distinctive yellow hue. This coloration arises from its diverse and flavorful ingredients, such as curry, pickles, and horseradish. Historically, it was served with meats, but today, it is a popular condiment or dipping sauce, especially for seafood dishes like sole, plaice, and seafood cakes.

This delicious sauce has garnered admirers across many countries, including France, Denmark, Iceland, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Poland, and the United States. In the U.S., it is particularly cherished in Louisiana Creole cuisine. It is utilized in various ways, from topping roast beef to accompanying french fries or even as a hot dog condiment.

Rémoulade comes in several styles. The French version typically includes mayonnaise, vinegar, mustard, shallots, capers, and herbs. The Danish version often features ingredients like cabbage, cucumber, and mustard. Meanwhile, the Louisiana version can be either mayonnaise or oil-based, enriched with vegetables, spices, and seasonings like paprika, cayenne pepper, and mustard.
