- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1 tsp honey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 tsp soy sauce (optional)

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise, sriracha sauce, and lime juice.

Notes
Customize the heat level by adjusting the amount of sriracha. Add honey for sweetness, smoked paprika for smoky depth, or garlic powder for extra savory flavor. Chill for 10 to 15 minutes before serving for the smoothest flavor. For a lighter version, replace part or all of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
