Peri peri sauce version

Dry spice version

Equipment

  • Bowl

Instructions

  1. Step 1: For either version, mix the ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using, if you can, to let the flavors meld.

  2. Step 2: Serve with burgers and wraps, use as a dip for fries, crunchy tenders, or popcorn chicken, or drizzle over salads, rice bowls, and poke bowls.

  3. Step 3: Refrigerate the peri peri sauce version for up to 5 days and the dry spice version for at least a week. Do not freeze.

Notes

Whole egg mayonnaise makes a creamier, less vinegary sauce. For a lighter version, replace one-third of the mayonnaise with sour cream or yogurt; the sauce will be a little looser.
