Description
Quick and easy Sriracha mayo, perfect as a dip or spread with a spicy kick.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mayonnaise, regular or low-fat
- 2 – 4 Tbsp sriracha, adjust to taste
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp lemon juice, optional
Instructions
- Mix the Ingredients: Start by scooping your mayonnaise into a medium bowl and adding the sriracha. You will notice the vibrant color from the sauce right away, and it will smell spicy yet savory. Be careful to not spill any sriracha while you are pouring it in!
- Stir Until Smooth: Gently stir the mixture with a whisk or spoon until it is evenly blended. The beautiful pinkish hue will let you know it is coming together nicely. It is essential to go slow here to prevent lumps; no one wants a clumpy sauce!
- Adjust the Heat: Taste your mayo and see if it is to your liking. If it is too spicy, adding more mayonnaise can mellow it out. If you are hesitant about heat, start with 2 tablespoons of sriracha and build up slowly to suit your taste!
- Serve or Store: Once you are happy with the flavor, it is ready to use! You can dollop it on fries, sandwiches, or anything else you fancy. If you are saving some for later, pop it in an airtight container, but do not forget to eat it within a week for the freshest taste!
Notes
- Storage Tips: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Expert Tips: If the mayo tastes too spicy for your preference, a little extra mayonnaise can help tone it down significantly. If you notice any lumps during mixing, taking a moment to blend thoroughly will achieve that smooth consistency you are looking for. If the sriracha mayo seems too thick, adding a small amount of water or lemon juice can help achieve your desired texture. For a flavor boost, consider adding fresh minced garlic, which brings a nice kick without overwhelming the mayo.

- Ingredient Notes: When selecting mayonnaise, you can choose between regular or low-fat based on your preference. Adjust the amount of sriracha based on how spicy you want your mayo.
