I made this because I was searching for a recipe for my rotting avocados. This is a fantastic remoulade! We made this dish with the salmon and then we used the left-overs as a base for a lobster "bruschetta" using the remoulade on the toast and topping with cold lobster. It was a great appitizer. I am vegetarian so I put the remoulade on my boca chicken patty and it was delicious! I skipped the lobster bruschetta, but I hear it was yummy! Thank you for a fresh and savory avocado recipe!!
