Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (regular or vegan)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha or hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of salt (about 1/8 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients in one spot to streamline the process and ensure freshness, especially using fresh lemon juice and quality hot sauce for best flavor.
  2. Combine Mayo and Hot Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and sriracha or your preferred hot sauce. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more later to adjust the heat.
  3. Add Flavor Enhancers: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of salt. Then squeeze in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavor.
  4. Mix Until Smooth: Whisk all the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored, ensuring consistent flavor in every bite.
  5. Taste and Adjust: Sample the spicy mayo and tweak by adding more hot sauce, salt, or lemon juice until it’s perfect for your palate.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for better flavor brightness.
  • Adjust heat gradually to avoid overpowering the sauce.
  • Let the mayo rest for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Choose a hot sauce you enjoy as different brands vary in heat and flavor.
  • Chill before serving for a refreshing and firm texture ideal for dipping and spreading.
