Name: Quick Rémoulade
Yield: Serves 24 (Makes about 1 1/2 cups)
Ingredients: 1 cup mayonnaise; 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard; 1/4 cup chopped dill pickles; 1 scallion, sliced thin; 1 tablespoon lemon juice; 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Why This Recipe Works

Rémoulade is a traditional Creole accompaniment to all manner of fish dishes. While many versions we found contained a wide range of ingredients, our Quick Rémoulade recipe uses refrigerator staples that took just minutes to pull together. We kept it simple by adding just pickles and scallions to a mayonnaise and whole-grain mustard base. For extra dimension, we added tart lemon juice and fiery cayenne pepper.

Before You Begin

This simple sauce can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. It is an excellent accompaniment to the Creole Crab Cakes.

Instructions
