There are many benefits to creating your own condiments. For one thing, you know exactly what goes in them (no calcium disodium EDTA, and you certainly know what all those ‘natural flavors’ are). Let’s face it, homemade condiments also taste so much better! We wanted to try out hand at making a simple condiment with a kick: sriracha mayonnaise.
This delicious spreadbasically only requires a few ingredients: mayonnaise, sriracha, and any extra flavoring (I’d recommend some soy sauce and lime juice).Many recipes have you start with pre-made mayonnaise, but we wanted to really start this from scratch. We will be including a great mayonnaise recipe as well. Keep reading below for our recipe…
