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.
