Kosher Fish Louis
a.k.a. The King of Salads~with Remoulade Sauce Recipe bonus
Kosher Fish Louis salad, is my a take-off on a popular restaurant salad first created in San Francisco in the early 1900's and made its way to fame in New Orleans. It usually features non-kosher seafood, but upon seeing the recipe I decided to try my own version using kosher fish.
Known as the "King of Salads,"and because of its ease and adaptability, it fits perfectly in the style of recipes I like to make when I'm Cooking for The King.
The simple combination of ingredients is eye appealing, but what makes this salad one you'll comeback to again and again is the Remoulade dressing with two versions below. Fish Louis Salad meets all four of my "D-I-S-H" requirements:

Two Remoulade Dressing Recipes for Fish Louie Salad
Remoulade is like the tartar sauce of the French. The port city of my hometown, Mobile, Alabama was once the capital of French Louisiana and the food of the area still bears this influence. The dressing is THE deal for this salad.
I'm giving you our favorite versions of Remoulade Sauce, one because it's easy and I know you'll make it. The second as a lagniappe (lan' yap). Just a little something extra that you weren't expecting, thrown in to make you smile.
Simple Remoulade Sauce
It's hard to believe this simple, humble combination can make everyone so happy. The ingredients are so run of the mill, I am almost embarrassed to tell people what's in this sauce when they ask for the recipe. But that is the Queen in the kitchen style~making more of the mundane than meets the eye, or the taste buds in this case.
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup prepared horseradish
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
In a small bowl, stir sauce ingredients until blended.
Makes 1 cup (but maybe you should triple it!)
