Why You'll Love This Vegan Sriracha Mayo

  1. Whole Food, Plant-Based Goodness: The base is a homemade vegan mayo crafted from cashews, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, and seasonings. This means you're getting creamy deliciousness without the additives and oil found in store-bought versions.
  2. Customize Heat Level: You can adjust the sriracha to your preferred level of spiciness, making it as mild or fiery as you like.
  3. Quick and Easy: If you already have the vegan mayo prepared, this sriracha mayo comes together in just one minute. Even if you're starting from scratch, the entire process takes about 10 minutes.
  4. Allergy-Friendly Option: For those with nut allergies or seeking a lower-fat alternative, the recipe offers a substitution using silken tofu. Check out our tofu-based, low fat vegan mayo and just add your desired amount of sriracha.

What You'll Need to Make This Spicy Sauce

Ingredients for Vegan Sriracha Mayo: cashews, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, lemon, and sriracha.
  1. Cashews: Give this sauce a mild, slightly sweet, and buttery flavor. They act as a neutral base that allows other flavors (like vinegar, mustard, or sriracha) to shine. Cashews are rich in healthy fats, magnesium, and other nutrients.
  2. Sriracha: Bold and spicy with a hint of tangy goodness. It’s what gives the mayo its signature kick.

A full list of ingredients with exact amounts can be found on the recipe card below.

Recipe FAQs

How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container, like a mason jar with a lid, in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freezing is not recommended.

Can I make this recipe without cashews?

Yes, you can substitute tofu for a nut-free version. Be sure to check out our low-fat silken tofu vegan mayo recipe for the list of ingredients and exact measurements.

Is sriracha mayo vegan?

The store-bought versions of sriracha mayo are often not vegan. They are typically made with an egg-based mayo. This recipe, however, uses a cashew-based mayonnaise, so it is vegan.
