This New Orleans-style remoulade sauce is a classic, except with the addition of shredded celery root for added flavor and texture. One day working at Emeril’s I remember seeing a chef make a big batch of remoulade sauce, but I noticed it particularly missing the red hue I’m usually used to seeing. That is when I learned that there are many versions and mainly it is either a white remoulade or red remoulade. Remoulade is a fairly quick and easy sauce to make and can be whipped up in no time. Toss some spicy boiled shrimp in the remoulade sauce or even use it as a dressing for some fish tacos, and you have a winner!
I used a food processor to process all of my veggies. One note I will make is that the onions and celery will produce a lot of water. So I recommend draining some of the liquid from them once rough chopped in the food processor. Enjoy!
