The Story Behind It

The Tale of Remoulade Sauce

Story updated September 18, 2026

Remoulade descends from French mayonnaise-based sauces served with cold meats and seafood since at least the 17th-18th century. Louisiana Creole cooks adapted it with paprika, mustard, and hot sauce, giving it the spicier, pinkish version now common in the American South.
