Ingredients
Produce
- 1/4 cup apple, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup onion, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 to 2 pickles, roughly chopped
Dairy
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
Pantry
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the produce: Peel and roughly chop the apple, onion, carrot, and pickles as instructed to get the proper texture for the sauce.
- Minced mixture: Place the chopped apple, onion, carrot, and pickles into a food processor. Pulse until finely minced, but not pureed, to maintain some texture.
- Drain excess liquid: Transfer the minced mixture to a bowl and squeeze out the juices. Discard the liquid to prevent the sauce from becoming watery.
- Combine with creamy ingredients: In a clean bowl, combine the drained fruit and vegetable mixture with mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir well until thoroughly mixed.
- Add turmeric and season: Stir in turmeric to add color and mild flavor. Season with kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Letting the sauce rest in the refrigerator allows the color to deepen and flavors to meld.
- Serve: Use the remoulade sauce immediately or chilled as a topping or side for seafood, sandwiches, or salads. Enjoy!
Notes
- Resting the sauce in the refrigerator for a few hours enhances the flavor and deepens the color.
- You can adjust the amount of pickles and apple to suit your taste preference for tanginess and sweetness.
- This remoulade keeps well for up to 3 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
- Use kosher salt for best seasoning control.
