Notes

Ingredient Substitutions:

If you can’t find Creole mustard, use Dijon mustard as a substitute.

For a milder version, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper and hot sauce.

Replace mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or vegan mayo for a lighter or dairy-free option.

Spice Level Adjustments:

Adjust the heat to your preference by adding more or less hot sauce and cayenne pepper.

Taste the remoulade before chilling and tweak the seasoning as needed.

Chilling Time:

Let the remoulade chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend and deepen.

For the best results, make it a day ahead to maximize flavor development.

Storage Tips:

Store the remoulade in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Avoid freezing, as it can alter the texture and flavor.
