Tips & Substitutions
For a tangier flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce to the remoulade. If you don't have green olives, you can substitute with capers for a similar briny taste. Using homemade mayonnaise can enhance the freshness of the dish. This recipe can also be adapted for vegetarian recipes by using a plant-based mayonnaise.

Storage & Reheating
