In just 5 minutes and using a handful of ingredients, you can make this creamy Sriracha Aioli. It’s the perfect spicy dipping sauce for fries and veggies or spread to add to your sandwiches, burgers, and wraps!
Over the last few years, I’ve posted a handful of aioli recipes: Small-Batch Garlic Aioli, Chipotle Aioli, Greek Yogurt Aioli. And today, I have another easy aioli recipe for you: Sriracha Aioli!
Sriracha aioli is a fun spicy twist on your classic aioli. The sauce has a smooth and creamy texture with a garlicky and tangy flavor and a hint of spice.
It is a great way to add flavor and heat to your sandwiches and burgers and also makes a delicious dipping sauce that pairs well with veggies, fries, fish sticks, or even salmon.
Best of all, this recipe uses just 4 simple ingredients: mayo, garlic, lime juice, and Sriracha and takes only 5 minutes to make.
Ingredient Notes
- Mayonnaise: You can use any type of mayo for this recipe, including vegan or low-fat. If you want a lighter aioli, you can replace up to two tablespoons of the mayo with unsweetened yogurt.
- Sriracha Sauce: Obviously, Sriracha is the star of Sriracha aioli, but you can swap in most hot sauces to make a new aioli variation.
- Lime juice: I actually recommend using bottled lime juice in this recipe because I found that freshly squeezed juice overpowered the sauce a bit. If you want to use fresh lime juice, try cutting the amount in half and then add more to taste.
- Garlic: Since we are using fresh garlic, be sure to check your garlic to make sure there are no sprouts on it. Even if you cut away the sprouted portion, the garlic still tends to have an “off” flavor when it is eaten raw.
How to Make Sriracha Aioli
1. Combine all of your ingredients (mayo, Sriracha sauce, lime juice, and pressed garlic) in a small bowl and stir well.
2. Add salt and pepper to taste, and enjoy!
What to eat with Sriracha Aioli
Sriracha aioli can be used as an ingredient to spice up whatever recipe you’re making almost anywhere you’d use regular mayonnaise.
It also makes a great sauce for fries, chicken strips, quesadillas, or sushi.
Or try it as a spread on your burgers or sandwiches or inside wraps and tacos.
FAQ
FAQCan You Make Sriracha Aioli Ahead of Time? / How to Store Sriracha Aioli
