**Cajun Remoulade: A Flavorful Dip with a Kick**
Remoulade is a versatile condiment that originated in France and has gained popularity worldwide. This creamy and flavorful sauce is typically made with mayonnaise, mustard, herbs, and spices. The Cajun version of remoulade adds a unique kick with the inclusion of Cajun seasoning, Creole mustard, and cayenne pepper. It is a perfect accompaniment to seafood, fried foods, and even sandwiches. This article provides two versions of Cajun remoulade: a classic mayonnaise-based one and a lighter yogurt-based version for those seeking a healthier option. Both recipes are easy to make and can be tailored to your desired spice level. Whether you're a fan of traditional remoulade or looking for a new flavor adventure, the Cajun remoulade recipes in this article are sure to satisfy your taste buds.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients well in a mixer.
- If you're not sure how spicy you want it, save the cayenne pepper for last and add a little at a time.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- I usually buy a 16oz jar of mayo, use the whole jar for the sauce, then pour it back into the jar.
GRILLED OKRA WITH CAJUN RéMOULADE
Okra is a popular item at robatayaki (grill) restaurants in Japan where the pods are pinned together with skewers into rafts. Turning rafts of okra (versus flipping individual pods) is the easiest way to grill them. Besides the charred smoky flavor grilling imparts to all vegetables, it also minimizes okra's slime factor - boiled or stewed okra tends to become mucilaginous. This is useful for thickening gumbo, but it's off-putting to many people who try to eat okra straight. In keeping with okra's Louisianan associations, this formula calls for dusting the okra with Cajun seasoning before grilling and serving it with a rémoulade sauce for dipping or spooning on top.

Steps:
- Set up your grill for direct grilling and heat your grill to high (450 to 600 degrees). Brush or scrape the grill grate clean and oil it with a tightly folded paper towel dipped in vegetable oil and drawn across the bars of the grate with tongs.
- Meanwhile, trim the very ends off the stems of the okra, but do not cut into the pods. Lay 4 to 6 okra pods side by side, alternating the positions of the heads and tails. Pin crosswise near the heads and tails with toothpicks or short metal or bamboo skewers to form rafts. If the bamboo skewers extend far beyond the okra, snip off the long ends of the skewers. Brush the okra rafts on both sides with melted butter and sprinkle with Cajun seasoning.
- Make the rémoulade sauce: Place the mayonnaise in a mixing bowl and whisk in the mustard, horseradish, pickle juice (if using), hot sauce, pimentón, Cajun seasoning and chives. Transfer to 4 small serving bowls.
- Arrange the okra rafts on the grate and grill (covered if you are using a gas grill), basting with any remaining butter and turning with tongs, until well browned on both sides, 2 to 4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the okra to a platter or plates. Have each eater remove and discard the skewers and pick up the grilled okra with their fingers to dip in the rémoulade sauce.
