Spicy Aioli is a fantastic sauce that can elevate any dish. I love its creamy texture with a kick of heat. It’s perfect as a dip for fries or as a spread on sandwiches.

I remember sitting in the kitchen with Dad, James, watching him whip up aioli for our family barbecues. The smell of garlic always filled the air, reminding me of those warm days and delicious meals.

Your Ingredients List

Healthy Twists on a Classic

For a lighter version, swap half of the mayonnaise for Greek yogurt. This keeps it creamy but adds a tangy flavor while reducing calories.

Serving Suggestions From My Table

I enjoy serving Spicy Aioli with sweet potato fries, grilled shrimp, or even on a turkey club sandwich. It adds richness and taste to anything you pair it with.

Getting It Just Right

Taste your aioli before serving. If you want it spicier, add more sriracha. For a hint of sweetness, try a touch of honey. Customize it to your liking!

How to Store Leftovers

Store any leftover aioli in an airtight container in the fridge. It keeps well for up to a week. Just give it a quick stir before you use it again.

Enjoy Every Moment
