Instructions

REMOULADE

  • Prepare your vegetables/fruit (carrot, apple, pickles, green onion) by finely chopping, grating, or running them through the food processor to break them down into fine chunks!

  • After grating or finely chopping the carrot, apple, pickle, and onion, we recommend squeezing the juice out of the fruit + veg - it will help keep the remoulade less runny! We use a paper towel for this, but you can also use a cheese cloth!

  • Next, add turmeric until the sauce is as yellow as you like. If you let it sit for a bit in the fridge, it will also deepen in color! Add sugar, then add salt and pepper to taste.
