How to Make a Remoulade
Mix together the following items into a small bowl:
2/3 cups of mayonnaise (I use an avocado-based version or homemade)
2 tablespoons of finely minced scallions )just the green tops)
1 tablespoon of minced fresh parsley
1 tablespoon of lemon juice
1 teaspoon of seasoned salt or Old Bay
1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
1 minced or crushed garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon of course ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon (or more) of cayenne or a picante pepper
There is a spicier version of remoulade from Louisanna that has more kick. If you’d like to make that version add about 1 tablespoon of Louisiana hot sauce.
