  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup Sweet Thai Chili Sauce (preferably Thai Kitchen brand or Trader Joe’s)
  • 2 teaspoons unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Sriracha or other hot sauce, to taste (optional for spice)

Instructions
