Ingredients
Mayonnaise: The creamy base of the sauce. See alternatives in the Variations section below.
Pickles: Diced pickled cucumbers give the sauce a little bite. You can omit these if you prefer.
Salt + pepper: Bring out the flavors in the sauce.
Mustard: I like Dijon mustard, but regular yellow mustard also works great.
Ketchup: Adds a lovely tang to the sauce.
Sriracha: Brings the spice! Adjust the amount to make the sauce as spicy as you want it.
Instructions
You can find full instructions + ingredient measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of this page
One: Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl.
Two: Mix them together to incorporate the ingredients evenly. Add more seasoning or sriracha to taste. Serve the sauce immediately, or transfer to a container for storage.
Top tips
- Feel free to adjust the amount of each ingredient to suit your preferences.
- Increase or reduce the amount of sriracha to adjust the spice level.
- For extra heat, you can use a hot sauce with more spice.
- Make the sauce ahead, as it stores well for up to 2 weeks.
- Omit the diced pickles if you don't like them. Alternatively, puree the sauce in a food processor or blender to add the pickle flavor, but without chunks.
Serving suggestions
This easy sriracha burger sauce tastes great on any burgers. It's also fantastic as a dipping sauce for chicken wings or meat. Here are some of my favorite recipes to pair it with:

Variations
Egg free, dairy free and vegan: Make sure that you use a mayonnaise that's suitable for your dietary requirements.
Lighter version / low calorie: Use light mayonnaise, or swap the mayo for Greek yogurt instead. Both versions taste amazing!
More or less spice: Adjust the amount of sriracha to suit your preferences. For a really spicy sauce, you can use a spicier hot sauce, chili paste or chili powder.
Leftovers
Store your spicy burger sauce in a sealed container in a refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. This is a fantastic condiment to make ahead, and you can use it for multiple meals if you wish.
The sauce does not keep well in room temperature, as it contains mayonnaise. I also don't recommend freezing it.
