Just 3-ingredients make for a spicy, tangy, creamy condiment that’s perfect to drizzle on just about anything! You only need sriracha sauce, mayonnaise and a squeeze of lemon juice.
I am a sauce-girl through and through. A drizzle of ranch over fries and wings, cashew queso in a bowl or with chips, lemon tahini in a pita. A little sauce to elevate just about any dish makes it taste better, ya know?
This creamy sriracha sauce is another winning condiment! Perfect with fries, burgers, rice bowls like an egg roll bowl; anything you like to drizzle with a little tangy heat, and this sriracha mayo sauce fits the bill.
ingredients for this spicy mayo
You only need 3-ingredients to make a batch of creamy mayo sriracha sauce; mayo, sriracha sauce and lemon.
It’s tangy, bright and has a slight kick – but it’s not too spicy, in my opinion. I like to add fresh lemon juice to thin the mayo and sriracha sauce so it’s easy to drizzle on anything you like. You could also use water, but I personally love the way fresh lemon juice brings out the flavor of the sriracha sauce for this one.
Can I make this sauce ahead of time?
You can absolutely meal prep spicy mayo – In fact, the flavor gets even better after it sits for a bit.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container with a lid (a mason jar works great) in the refrigerator for up to 1-week. When you’re ready to use it, just give it a quick stir to bring everything back together.
- If you only need this sauce recipe for 1-2 meals and don’t want leftovers, you can very easily half the recipe below so you don’t waste a cup of mayo.
Ways to use sriracha mayo sauce
This sauce is so tasty on burgers or sandwiches, fish tacos, sushi bowls or over a tuna roll bowl, salmon fried rice, grain bowls – like egg roll bowls, fries, and even as a dipping sauce for veggies – I love it over my sheet pan chicken sausage and veggies dinner. I told you, I am a sauce girl.
And that’s it! I’d love to hear how you use this creamy sriracha sauce at home. Feel free to comment or email or DM me with ways you’ve used this sauce in your own kitchen. xo, Nichole
