"My version adds a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to the mix — it tightens the texture and gives the aioli a little more backbone. I put this on everything from a fried egg sandwich to grilled swordfish. Once you make it, plain mayo feels like a step backward."
Smoked Maple Sriracha Aioli
One bowl, five minutes, and suddenly everything needs dipping. This aioli uses Sugar Bob's Smoked Maple Sriracha for a sauce that's creamy, smoky, and just hot enough to keep things interesting. Works on burgers, chicken, fish, fries, or anything coming off the grill this summer.
INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup good mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Sugar Bob's Smoked Maple Sriracha
- 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 small garlic clove, finely grated
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- Cracked black pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Mix: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Taste and adjust — more sriracha for heat, more lemon for brightness.
- Rest: Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. The flavors come together fast, but they come together better with a little patience.
Pro Tip: Add a teaspoon of Sugar Bob's Smoked Maple Syrup for more sweetness and smoke without turning up the heat.
WHERE TO USE IT
- Potato salad: Swap half the mayo in your potato salad for this aioli. The smoke and heat change the whole dish.
- Sandwiches and burgers: Spread it thick. Works especially well with grilled chicken, pulled pork, or a good BLT.
- Grilled corn: Brush it over hot ears straight off the grill instead of butter.
- Fish tacos: The smoke plays well with anything from the water: Shrimp, salmon, mahi-mahi.
- Deviled eggs: Mix it into the yolk filling for a summer cookout upgrade nobody sees coming.
Dipping sauce for fries or onion rings: The move that makes people ask what's in the bowl.
