Are you ready for the condiment you didn’t know you were missing out on? Introducing…. Paprika Mayonnaise!
This Paprika Mayonnaise recipe came about after trying a version at a burger joint in Madison. Theirs was so good, I had to try and re-create it at home. One thing I knew right away I wanted to change… was to add a bit more tang to cut that fattiness of the mayo. My version uses only pantry ingredients making it easier to whip up on a whim. I also decided to add some of my favorite Asian staples to the flavor of this Paprika Mayo Dipping Sauce Recipe.

ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS
Japanese mayonnaise adds that tang I wanted this dip. Japanese Mayonnaise is far more readily available in grocery stores (even Walmart has it) than it used to be. If you can’t find it, replace it with a 1:1 ratio American mayonnaise plus ¼ teaspoon rice wine vinegar
Smoked paprika is the star of the show! The smokiness amps up the flavor vs uses sweet paprika.
Garlic powder and onion powder help emphasize the paprika. It added a dimension to the dip.
Sriracha chili sauce adds heat, which is why it’s optional. We like a little spice in ours, but omit it if it’s not for you.
MAKING THIS PAPRIKA MAYO
Making this dip is as easy as ONE (add all the ingredients) TWO (mix them up) THREE (serve it with whatever you want)!
This is a five-minute TOPS recipe. The longest part will be collecting your ingredients.
