  4. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the sauce and adjust salt, pepper, or hot sauce according to preference. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Once chilled, use the Louisiana Remoulade Sauce as a dip, dressing, or spread to elevate seafood, sandwiches, and appetizers with its rich, spicy goodness.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs to brighten the sauce and add authentic flavor.
  • Allow the sauce to chill at least 30 minutes for best flavor development.
  • Start with small amounts of hot sauce or horseradish and increase gradually to balance heat.
  • Choose a quality Creole or whole-grain mustard for superior taste.
  • If sauce is too thick, thin with a little water or more lemon juice to desired consistency.
  • Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container; sauce stays fresh up to one week.
  • Do not freeze, as it may alter texture and cause separation.
  • Serve cold; reheating is not required or recommended.
