remoulade

Crab cake topping

Remoulade is a cold sauce based on mayonnaise, typically flavored with mustard, capers, pickles, and herbs.

The classic French version accompanies seafood and cold meats.

Louisiana remoulade is spicier and more pungent, often served with fried shrimp or crab cakes: The po'boy came with a generous smear of remoulade.
