What is Sriracha Aioli?
Sriracha aioli sauce is a blend of mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Aioli is often used synonymously with mayonnaise as it’s defined as a mayonnaise made from olive oil and flavored with garlic. There are different types of aioli recipes out there such as rosemary aioli, chipotle lime aioli, or chimichurri aioli. In fact, the classic mayo ketchup sauce can kind of be considered an aioli sauce too.
