Vegan remoulade sauce is delicious as a sauce to something fish-like food. Remoulade is a great sauce for many other things also and can be made from mayonnaise, vegan creme fraiche, or cashews as the base.

Traditionally remoulade sauce is made of:

There are many variations depending on the country and what you eat the sauce with. Danish remoulade is yellowish and has cabbage, pickled cucumber, onion, coriander, and turmeric. This version in the recipe is more common in Sweden and Finland.

Louisiana remoulade has a more red color since it is spiced with brown mustard, ketchup, and paprika. It is also flavored with celery and parsley.

Remoulade and tartar sauce are almost similar. Tartar is made of mayo, capers and pickles. Remoulade, though, also has fresh herbs and other spices. They both go well with fried food.

1 tbs pickled gherkin
1 tbs capers
1 tsp dried dill
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dijon mustard
pinch of salt

Notes

Instead of onion, you can use chive. Instead of dill other herbs are tasty as well depending on what food you serve this sauce with.

Usually, remoulade is made in mayonnaise, but made in oat fraiche it becomes a lighter version.

If you follow a whole foods plant-based diet I recommend using cashew mayo as a base.

The Lightest version is made with silken tofu.
