Ingredient List
All measurements are in the recipe card below! I made my remoulade sauce to be the perfect balance of savory, spicy, and creamy, but you can adjust the amount of each ingredient added to make it your own.
- Mayonnaise: This makes the sauce nice and creamy. You can also use plain Greek yogurt as a lighter alternative.
- Spicy Brown Mustard: It gives the sauce a tangy and slightly spicy kick. Honey mustard or Dijon mustard work if you want milder flavor.
- Cajun Seasoning: So your sauce has that classic smoky and mildly spicy taste. You can make your own mix with spices like paprika and cayenne, or use a pre-made Cajun blend.
- Dill Relish: This adds tanginess and crunch to the mix.
- Lemon Juice: To keep the flavor of the sauce bright.
- Louisiana Hot Sauce: For the most delicious kick of spice!
- Garlic Powder: Adds a subtle garlic flavor. You can also use fresh minced garlic if you want a more savory flavor.
- Paprika: Besides color, paprika adds a sweet and smoky taste. You can use smoked paprika or chili powder for a similar effect.
- Salt and Black Pepper: Adjust to taste!
