Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Creole Mustard
  • 2 tablespoons Ketchup

Zesty Flavors

  • 1 tablespoon Prepared Horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons Hot Sauce (adjust to taste)

Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

Optional Garnishes

  • Chopped Fresh Parsley or Chives (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine the Base Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Creole mustard, and ketchup until smooth and well blended. This creamy foundation is where all other flavors start to shine.
  2. Add the Zesty Flavors: Mix in horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, and hot sauce. Each ingredient adds layers of complexity—from sharp heat to tangy brightness—that define an authentic Louisiana Remoulade Sauce.
  3. Season Thoroughly: Sprinkle in garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed and build that classic Southern flavor profile.
  4. Chill for Best Flavor: Cover and refrigerate the sauce for at least one hour. This resting period helps all the flavors marry beautifully, making it richer and more cohesive.
  5. Adjust and Serve: Before serving, taste and tweak seasonings or spice levels as needed. Add fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy this velvety, bold condiment that enhances any dish.

Notes

  • Balance the Heat: Start with less hot sauce and add gradually to control spice levels perfectly.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Always use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the brightest acidity.
  • Mix Well: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to avoid clumps and create a smooth texture.
  • Chill Before Serving: Allowing it to rest enhances the flavor blend significantly.
  • Customize Consistency: Thin with a splash of water or lemon juice if too thick.
