    Mayo and Sriracha: The Saucy Power Couple

    There's probably not a single person who doesn't know what mayonnaise is, right? It's the dreamy creamy wonder that's basically the glue that holds every sandwich together.

    Now, let's talk about sriracha. Oh, sriracha. This fiery, garlicky goodness has been around for centuries, originally created in Sri Racha, Thailand (hence the name), where it was used to spice up everything from noodles to omelettes.

    Fast forward to the 1980s, and bam, Huy Fong Foods brought it stateside, putting it in nearly every pantry and dubbing it the iconic "rooster sauce."

    So what happens when you combine these two legends? Magic. Throw in some lime juice to cut through the richness and toasted sesame seed oil - and it's perfection.

    This spicy mayo gives you all the richness and creaminess of mayo, with a fiery kick from sriracha. It's the condiment you never knew you needed but will wonder how you lived without.

    Ingredients for Spicy Mayonnaise

    Ingredients for spicy mayo.
    • Mayo: This is the creamy, rich base that gives the sauce its smooth texture (so make sure it's good quality). It balances the heat from the sriracha and helps everything blend together into a luscious, spoonable condiment. My avocado oil mayonnaise recipe works great in this dip.
    • Sriracha: Grab your favorite sriracha sauce to give it just the heat this spicy mayo deserves. Adjust the amount depending on how spicy you want it.
    • Lime juice: A little fresh lime juice brightens everything up and cuts through the richness of the mayo.
    • Toasted sesame oil: Just a teeny tiny amount of sesame oil to add a nutty and smoky depth. It makes this sauce more interesting than just basic, boring spicy mayo.

    How to Make Mayo with Sriracha

    The complete printable recipe is below in the recipe card for your convenience. Follow these simple step-by-step instructions for the best results.

    Step 2. Serve

    Use immediately as a dip, sauce, or salad dressing. Or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

    Helpful Tips

    1. To make the drizzle consistency - Just add 1-2 tablespoons of water and stir well to combine to thin out the spicy mayo a bit. 
    2. Add extra flavor - Try adding a few teaspoons of garlic powder, onion powder, or a small squeeze of honey to balance the heat. 
    3. Adjust the spice level - If you like it milder, start with less sriracha and gradually add more to suit your taste. 

    Product Highlight!

    Refined-Sugar Free Sriracha

    I love this Sriracha as it's naturally sweetened with dates and raisins instead of refined sugar. It still has all the bold, spicy flavor you expect, but with real food ingredients you can actually feel good about.

    Serving Suggestions

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I store mayo with sriracha?

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Be sure to stir it well before using, as ingredients may slightly separate over time. 

    It's too spicy for my taste! How do I tone it down?

    No worries! If your mayo and sriracha is too hot, simply add a little more mayonnaise to balance out the heat. Cut back on the sriracha for a milder kick or use a mild chili sauce instead.

    Can I use a different hot sauce instead of sriracha in spicy mayo?

    Absolutely! If you're not a fan of sriracha, you can use other hot sauces like sambal oelek, chili garlic sauce, or even a few dashes of Tabasco for a different heat profile. As always, I recommend checking that ingredient label so it doesn't have any funky ingredients.
