FAQs
Sriracha aioli is a simple, creamy sauce made by mixing mayonnaise with sriracha hot sauce, sometimes with a splash of lime juice and garlic. It’s a quick way to add spicy, zesty flavor to all kinds of dishes.
If you prefer a lighter version, you can swap the mayo for Greek yogurt or a vegan mayo alternative.
My recipe is spicy, however, the spiciness depends on how much sriracha you add. If you don't like it hot, start with a smaller amount like 2 tablespoons and build up to your preferred heat level.
