What Is Louisiana-Style Remoulade Sauce

In my home state, Louisiana-style remoulade sauce is a creamy, tartar sauce-like sauce made with mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, horseradish, lemon and just the right amount of spices and dried herbs for loads of bright, inviting flavor. It’s just a little tart, just a little spicy and can always be found happily perched on a platter of deep-fried seafood or fish.
