Say hello to your new favorite condiment: Spicy Mayo! A delicious combination of creamy mayo, spicy sriracha, and a touch of honey… it’s easy to make and makes the BEST addition to any of your favorite foods!

Let’s talk about spicy mayo for a second. Why? Because it’s my absolute FAVORITE! It’s like the new secret sauce… the one thing that makes everything better… and it’s also incredibly easy to make at home.

All you need is 4 simple ingredients: mayo, sriracha sauce, honey, and sesame oil. If I had to guess, you already have the first 3 ingredients at home. So go grab yourself a bottle of sesame oil… and voila. We’re in business.

Ok. So what, exactly, makes this mayo SO good? Well… it’s the perfect combination of spicy, creamy, and sweet with a hint of nuttiness from the sesame oil. If you ask me, it’s basically the only condiment we ever need again. Try it… and you’ll agree.

Ingredients for Spicy Mayo

Mayo – This recipe calls for 1/4 cup of mayo. I used Hellman’s, which is typically my mayo of choice, but feel free to substitute any of your favorite brands.

Sriracha – Sriracha is what gives this mayo a kick. I chose sriracha because it’s one of my favorite all around hot sauces. If you’re looking for a substitution, consider using Cholula or Tabasco.

Honey – I added honey to balance out the spicy sriracha sauce. Because if there’s anything better than spicy mayo… it’s spicy mayo with a hint of sweetness.

Sesame oil – Just a touch of sesame oil adds a TON of flavor to this recipe. A little bit goes a long way, so be sure to measure it out!
