Notes

My homemade garlic mayonnaise recipe is perfect for spicy mayo.
Garlic powder: If you're using store-bought mayo instead of homemade garlic mayo, add garlic for the best flavor.
Lime juice: Lemon juice can be substituted.
Spiciness: Adust the amount of sriracha by adding a little more if you like it spicier, or a little less sriracha if you're not a fan of the heat.
Type of hot sauce: Any kind of hot sauce you have on hand will work for this creamy spicy mayonnaise recipe! I prefer hot sriracha sauce because it's slightly sweet, but I've also made it with Encona with great results. Check my hot sauce post for more hot sauce ideas.
Mayo amounts: You can also play with different ratios of mayo. If it's too spicy, add a tablespoon more at a time until it is the right level of heat for you.
