Thick & Creamy Sriracha Mayo
Description
The recipe blends half a cup of mayonnaise with a tablespoon of sriracha, a teaspoon of fresh lime juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mixing these ingredients produces a smooth, creamy sauce that balances heat and subtle acidity without thinning excessively. The lime juice adds brightness while maintaining a thick consistency since only a small amount is added.
This sriracha mayo pairs well with sandwiches, burgers, tacos, or as a dipping sauce. It keeps its creamy texture and flavor when stored covered in the refrigerator. The recipe notes that mayonnaise and sriracha contain enough salt so no extra is necessary. Doubling lime juice will thin the consistency slightly. Garlic powder and smoked paprika enhance the flavor without overpowering the sauce.
The mayo is best stirred again before serving if refrigerated. Freezing is not advised as separation occurs. This condiment is quick to prepare with commonly available ingredients and adds a flavorful yet creamy kick to dishes.
