Key Ingredients and Substitutions

Sriracha Sauce: The star ingredient that brings bold, tangy spice, instantly elevating any dish.
Mayonnaise: Choose from classic options or go for olive or avocado oil-based versions for a richer, smoother texture. Vegan mayo works perfectly as a plant-based alternative.
Lime Juice: Freshly squeezed lime juice adds a zesty brightness. If lime isn’t available, fresh lemon juice makes a great substitute.
Garlic Powder: For a bolder flavor, swap garlic powder with freshly grated garlic or minced cloves for a smoother, stronger taste.
Salt: Regular table salt blends seamlessly, ensuring no grainy texture in your creamy mix.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spicy Sriracha Mayo

Can you freeze homemade sriracha sauce?

Technically, yes, but we don’t recommend it. Freezing causes the mayo to separate upon thawing, which affects its smooth, creamy texture. Since it’s so quick to prepare, it’s best enjoyed fresh!

What dishes pair well with spicy mayo?

Sriracha mayo is a versatile condiment that elevates countless dishes. Use it as a spread for sandwiches and burgers, or a dip for fries and veggies. It’s a perfect complement to sushi, tacos, and grilled chicken. We also love it drizzled over rice bowls, wrapped in burritos, or paired with crispy fried chicken for an irresistible flavor boost.

How spicy is this recipe?

This version falls between 1,000 and 2,500 Scoville units, making it on the milder side of the heat spectrum. When mixed with mayonnaise, the heat is softened, offering a flavorful chili kick without overwhelming spice.
