A Note From Kristen
I love how quickly this sriracha aioli comes together. It takes just a few minutes and only five simple ingredients, but the flavor payoff is huge! I use this spicy, garlicky sauce on everything from sandwiches and veggie burgers to roasted vegetables and fries, and it also makes a great dipping sauce or drizzle. One of my favorite things about it is how easy it is to adjust the heat level, so you can make it as mild or as fiery as you like. It’s naturally gluten free, dairy free, and nut free, and it can easily be made vegan too. Happy eating!

What Does Sriracha Aioli Taste Like?
Sriracha aioli tastes creamy, garlicky, and savory with a gentle tang from lemon and a warm chili heat from the sriracha. The mayo softens the spice, creating a smooth, rich sauce that’s bold but balanced rather than overly hot. It has enough flavor to shine as a dip or drizzle without overpowering whatever you pair it with.
How Spicy is Sriracha Mayonnaise?
Sriracha mayo is generally mild to medium spicy, depending on how much sriracha you use. The mayonnaise significantly mellows the heat of the chili sauce, making it approachable even for those who prefer less spice. It’s easy to adjust by adding more or less sriracha until the heat level feels right for you.
Kristen’s Top Tip
This aioli recipe works well with nearly any hot sauce you love, not just sriracha. Vinegar-forward sauces will add more tang, while chili-based sauces bring deeper heat and color. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, since heat levels and saltiness vary between brands.
