Crab Cake Dipping Sauce

Sriracha Mayonnaise Recipe

As far as the “secret” 3rd item, it’s garlic powder. You could use granulated garlic if you preferred, that wouldn’t make much of a difference. I would say this is somewhat similar to how to make fry sauce. That one doesn’t have any heat to it though, but reminds me of it.

Want to amp the spicy nature of this up even more? Use a bit of red pepper flakes if you like. Not only will that give more heat, but a bit of texture with the flakes, and a speckled color to it too.

What is Sriracha mayo good on?

Oh all the things y’all. I mentioned fries and crab cakes above but the list goes on and on. You can offer it up as a dip with frozen chicken tenders in air fryer once those are crispy and warm.

Beyond that just use a small bowl and fork to whisk it all together. Start with 1 Tbsp of hot sauce and then once blended, taste it. If you want it a bit bolder then add 1/2 Tbsp more, whisk, taste and keep going until it is perfect for your family.

What is Sriracha Mayo made of?

1. Mayonnaise, duh – do NOT buy low fat. Remember I said Best Foods is my favorite, it is called Hellmann’s in some parts of the country, same brand and gluten free too
2. One or a few Tablespoons of Sriracha sauce for the heat, give or take how much you use depending on how risky you are
   1. some prefer chili sauce or Tabasco sauce, I don’t think it tastes the same with these, it needs the above spicy sauce to make it just right
3. Garlic powder
