French Remoulade Sauce

When you think of remoulade sauce, do you think of the classic French version or spicy Louisiana-style? Classic French Remoulade sauce is reminiscent of tartar sauce, but even better, made with a mayonnaise base and then loaded with bits of tangy cornichon pickles and capers, creamy Dijon mustard, zingy fresh lemon and earthy parsley.

The French classic remoulade sauce is served as a condiment for fish, shellfish and red meat, but also tossed with grated celery root to make Celery Root Remoulade, a delicious salad that you’ll find on the menu in many French bistros.
