Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Creole mustard (or substitute with more Dijon)
  • 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (like Tabasco or Crystal)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion (scallion)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Gather all your ingredients. You do not need to cook anything for this recipe.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, Creole mustard, horseradish, Cajun seasoning, hot sauce, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  3. Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Stir in the fresh parsley, green onion, and lemon juice.
  5. Taste the sauce. Add more hot sauce or Cajun seasoning if you want more heat or spice.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the remoulade sauce for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to blend together.

Notes

  • For the most authentic flavor, use Creole mustard if you can find it.
  • This homemade remoulade sauce keeps well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. The flavor often deepens overnight.
  • Use this as a zesty mayonnaise based sauce for dipping french fries or as a spread for your next Po Boy sandwich.
