😍 Why You'll Love This Recipe
- This 5-ingredient Sriracha Aioli recipe doesn't require any prep time. In fact, it takes around two minutes to prepare from start to finish.
- The aioli is not overly spicy, which means it can be enjoyed by the whole family! However, if there is someone in the family who wants to make it spicier, they can add more Sriracha to their portion.
- This made-from-scratch recipe only makes enough Sriracha Aioli for a few servings. Of course, you can prepare a double batch and store the leftover sauce in the fridge for up to a week.
- Additionally, Sriracha Aioli is a vegetarian recipe! It can easily be modified to a vegan recipe by simply using vegan mayonnaise instead of regular mayonnaise.
🔖 Ingredients & Substitutions
- Mayonnaise—Best Foods/Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise is a great option. Hellmann's even makes a vegan mayo for vegan sriracha aioli.
- Sriracha Chili Sauce — Sriracha Sauce is a spicy condiment made with chili peppers, sugar, salt, garlic, acetic acid, and other preservatives. Since it's one of the main ingredients in this recipe, I wouldn't recommend substituting it with another hot sauce.
- Lime Juice — The lime adds acidity to the sauce and adds a hint of citrusy flavor. If you don't have limes, substitute an equal amount of lemon juice.
- Garlic — Always use fresh garlic, never bottled!
- Extra Spice — If you find that the aioli is not as spicy as you'd like, add more Sriracha sauce or ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper.
🫙 How to Make Sriracha Aioli
Step 1: Whisk mayonnaise, Sriracha chili sauce, lime juice, crushed garlic, and sea salt in a small bowl.
Step 2: Taste and adjust with more Sriracha or salt, if needed. To make the Sriracha Aioli spicier, add ⅛ to ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper.
Use Sriracha Aioli right away or store it in an airtight container or condiment bottle in the refrigerator for up to a week.
