Tips

• Adjust the heat: Add more sriracha for extra spiciness or reduce it for a milder version.
• Smooth texture: Use full-fat mayo for a richer, creamier consistency.
• Chill before serving: Letting the sauce rest in the fridge for 15–30 minutes enhances the flavor.

Variations and Substitutions

• Mayo alternatives: Try Greek yogurt or a vegan mayo for a lighter or dairy-free version.
• Honey swap: Maple syrup or agave nectar works well as a substitute.
• Extra flavor: Add a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice for a tangy twist.
