The Best Homemade Vegan Remoulade Recipe

Vegan remoulade can now be bought ready-made almost everywhere, but did you know that you can also easily make it yourself at home? For the base you need only vegan mayonnaise and if you already have that, then you are almost ready! Then add prickled cucumbers, onions, fresh herbs and a few spices. Et voila – you have a delicious homemade remoulade that tastes way better than the store-bought stuff!

Since the homemade remoulade is 100% plant-based and therefore completely without eggs and dairy products, it has a longer shelf life than the original. The creamy remoulade sauce is light and tangy and goes well as a dip with baked potato wedges, oven-roasted vegetables, veggie fritters or can be used as a spread like butter or margarine on homemade bread, buns, burgers or sandwiches. However, it tastes especially good with fish alternatives like fish cakes, vegan fish nuggets and tofu salmon.

Ingredients for the Mayo Dill Sauce

As mentioned earlier, you can make vegan remoulade super quickly and easily yourself with a few plant-based ingredients! Here are the ingredients you’ll need with possible options:

• Vegan Mayonnaise: I always make this myself with my quick 3 minute recipe. Alternatively, you could whip up a cashew mayonnaise or just use a store-bought mayo. For a lighter remoulade, you can also use half creamy dairy-free yogurt “skyr alternative” and half mayo.
• Pickles: I like to use “Polish style” garlic pickles, but feel free to choose your favorite sour pickles here. If the cucumbers aren’t that sweet, you can add some agave syrup or other syrup or sugar of your choice.
• Onion: I recommend using red onions or a mild variety. You can also add scallions or garlic.
• Mustard: I like medium hot mustard, but Dijon mustard is also good if you like the remoulade with it.
• Herbs: like parsley and dill go well. Depending on your preference, you can use fresh or dried herbs, or just one kind.
• Salt and pepper: to taste.

How to make Vegan Remoulade Sauce

As always, I recommend checking out the recipe video and these step-by-step instructions first. Then you’ll find the full recipe with the exact measurements in the recipe card below!

Step 1: Combine all ingredients

Simply combine all the ingredients for the remoulade sauce (mayo, mustard, chopped red onion, diced pickles and chopped dill) in a bowl. Season with salt, black pepper and optional agave syrup. That’s it!

Step 2: Refrigerate

You can use the remoulade right away, but I recommend letting it sit, covered, in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours before using. This allows the flavors to develop nicely and the remoulade becomes much tastier!

How to store Vegan Remoulade?

The vegan remoulade can be stored in a jar or airtight container for about5 days in the refrigerator.

Variations of the classic remoulade

• To make a green remoulade, you can simply add some of the herbs when blending the vegan mayonnaise ingredients.
• If you want the remoulade sweeter, you can add agave syrup, maple syrup, date syrup or another liquid sweetener to taste.
• For a fresh tangy flavor, add some lemon juice.
• To make the remoulade lower in fat, you can replace some of the mayonnaise with a creamy yogurt like vegan skyr or quark.
• For a Mediterranean twist, feel free to try herbs like rosemary, basil, oregano or thyme.
• You can also refine the remoulade with a dash of olive oil, cashew butter or tahini.
• Try adding different spices like paprika, curry, cayenne pepper, etc.
• For a fruity flavor, feel free to use pear mustard or fig mustard, or add a spoonful of fruit compote.
• Add capers, horseradish, cress or wild herbs to the remoulade for more nutrients and vitamins!
