Description
Ina Garten’s Remoulade Sauce is a classic French-inspired condiment made from mayonnaise, mustard, capers, pickles, and a blend of herbs and spices. It’s a creamy, tangy sauce that pairs wonderfully with seafood, adding a flavorful punch to dishes like crab cakes, shrimp, and fish. This sauce is also great as a sandwich spread or as a dip for fried foods.
