Creamy Sriracha Mayo: Spicy Aioli for Sandwiches and Dips

Sriracha Mayo – a creamy blend of mayonnaise and Sriracha hot sauce, lightened with Greek yogurt for a tangy, lower-fat twist.

This Sriracha mayonnaise is a simple, versatile condiment that balances heat, creaminess and brightness. By mixing Sriracha with mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, then finishing with a touch of citrus and optional sweetener, you get a silky sauce that complements a wide range of dishes while keeping the overall fat content lower than using mayonnaise alone.

Sriracha itself is a chili-based sauce made from chili paste, vinegar, garlic, sugar and salt. When combined with mayonnaise and Greek yogurt, and brightened with lime or lemon juice and zest, it becomes a smooth, spicy spread or dip. A small amount of ketchup can add color and a subtle sweetness; a touch of honey is optional if you prefer a sweeter balance to the heat.

Because of its creamy texture and spicy tang, Sriracha mayo is extremely adaptable. Use it as a sandwich spread or burger topper, a dressing for pasta or slaw, or as a dipping sauce for fries, sweet potato wedges or raw vegetables. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled or roasted chicken, tofu, shrimp, salmon, tuna and other seafood, and is a natural match for fish tacos, sushi rolls and deviled eggs. Keep a jar in the fridge and it will quickly become a go-to condiment for everyday meals and casual entertaining.

Below is the straightforward recipe and a few practical tips for getting the flavor balance right and storing your sauce safely.

Tips for best results: start with the suggested amount of Sriracha and adjust to your preferred spice level. If the sauce seems too tangy after adding citrus, a tiny pinch of honey or a touch more ketchup will round it out. For a thinner dressing consistency, whisk in a teaspoon of water or additional lime juice. For a richer result, increase the mayonnaise portion and reduce the yogurt.

Storage and safety: transfer the mayo to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Because this recipe contains mayonnaise and dairy, keep it chilled and use within two days for optimal freshness and food safety. Discard if you notice off odors, separation that doesn’t re-emulsify, or any signs of spoilage.

Variations and serving ideas: swap plain Greek yogurt for flavored or smoky yogurt for a different profile, or use light mayonnaise to further reduce calories. Add minced garlic, a pinch of smoked paprika, or chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or chives to customize the flavor. Use as a finishing sauce on grilled vegetables, a drizzle over grain bowls, or tucked into wraps and sliders for an instant flavor boost.

This simple Sriracha mayo recipe is quick to prepare and easy to adapt. It offers the familiar heat of Sriracha with the creamy balance of mayo and the brightness of yogurt and citrus—making it a practical, crowd-pleasing addition to home pantries and meal rotations.
