Key Ingredients
Mayonnaise – You can use whatever mayo you’d like for this recipe. Low-fat, vegan, avocado oil, really any kind will work! I’ve made this recipe using both regular mayonnaise and vegan mayonnaise, and had great results each time. Sriracha – All of the spice in this recipe comes from the sriracha! However, you can add as much or as little sriracha as you’d like. This spicy mayo recipe calls for one tablespoon which yields a mild to medium spice. If you don’t have sriracha, you can use your favorite hot sauce instead. Though keep in mind that not all hot sauces are created equal and some are much spicier than others! Lemon Juice – A squeeze of fresh lemon juice rounds out the flavors of this delicious condiment. While optional, I highly recommend you add some lemon juice for a tangy kick!
