Spicy Mayo brings a nice creamy heat to lots of foods. You make it by blending regular mayonnaise with a spicy element like sriracha or hot sauce. This simple mix works well on sushi rolls burgers or as a dip for veggies and fries. The creaminess cuts through the spice creating a balanced taste that many folks enjoy. At home you can tweak the recipe to match your preferred level of kick maybe milder for kids or hotter for those who like it bold.
It only needs a handful of items and comes together fast. I sometimes throw in a dash of lime juice to brighten things up a bit. That tang pairs great with the richness. People use it in sandwiches salads or even on grilled meats. It’s one of those sauces that once you have it around you find new ways to add it everywhere. Pretty straightforward and always hits the spot you know.

- For serving try drizzling over poke bowls or mixing into coleslaw for extra flavor.
