Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

- 2 tablespoons low sodium dill pickle relish
Instructions
Start by preparing your ingredients: finely chop the celery, parsley, and capers if they are not pre-chopped.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the plain non-fat Greek yogurt and Dijon mustard.
Add the capers, lemon juice, paprika, and hot sauce to the bowl and mix well until fully incorporated.
Add the chopped celery, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Gently fold in the low sodium dill pickle relish, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the sauce.
Taste the remoulade sauce and adjust any flavors to your preference, such as adding more lemon juice for tang or more hot sauce for heat.
Once the flavors are balanced to your liking, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
After chilling, serve the remoulade sauce with your choice of grilled fish, crab cakes, or as a dipping sauce for vegetables.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
