    Sriracha Aioli is a super simple way to add a huge POP of flavor to many dishes!

    All the wonderfully strong flavors: garlic, lime juice and sriracha hot sauce merge together with the mild creamy mayo.

    The results are the most delicious dipping sauce! It's seriously addictive and it's sure to become a favorite.

    It certainly is at my house.

    This easy sriracha aioli dip bursts with flavor, but not in a 'my mouth is burning' way. More in a taste-explosion sort of way.

    You've gotta just try it.

    Why aioli?

    So, why not just stir sriracha into mayo? Well, making a quick 'cheats' aioli gives WAY more flavor. It's worth the extra minute or two it takes to make it. Trust me. It's like sriracha mayonnaise, but better!

    Both aioli and mayonnaise are creamy emulsions. However, aioli is made from garlic and olive oil while mayo doesn't have garlic, but does have egg.

    Sure, I could have made an aioli from scratch for this, but then it wouldn't be such a quick recipe! And I love how the addition of mayo makes it thick and rich.

    Quick dip

    So, don't wait. You can make Sriracha Aioli in about two minutes.

    Two minutes to heaven. Yup.

    Make a batch and I promise it won't last long in your fridge.

    This recipe is vegetarian but easily vegan. Just use vegan mayo!

    A spoonful of sriracha mayonnaise coming out of a bowl. In front of a side of fries.

    Ingredients

    • Mayonnaise (or use dairy free vegan mayo)
    • garlic
    • lime juice (or lemon juice)
    • salt
    • Sriracha sauce

    How to use Sriracha Aioli

    Where can't you use it? Well, maybe not in cake, but it will elevate all your savory dishes to WOW. It's not toooo spicy (but heck, if you love it spicy, add in extra sriracha!). Try it with:

    Fries
    Wedges
    Tacos
    Mexican chipotle salad
    Vegan fajitas
    Bean burger
    Chilli baked potatoes
    Dip for potato chips
    Potato skins
    Roasted Potato Peels
    Dip for veggies
    Kai jeow (Thai omelette)
    and anything else you can think of!

      SO good! Sriracha is just the best. I'm all about putting this on everything, but especially my favorite sweet potato fries. I could definitely make a meal out of that!
