Spicy Mayo Sauce

Mayonnaise is one of the most versatile sauces in the world. And what can be better than a regular mayo? Only creamy and savory SPICY mayo. I guarantee that once you try this homemade spicy mayo you will never go back to classic mayonnaise because it can seriously improve the flavor and taste of any dish and take it to the next level!
I am sure you’ve tasted it so many times in sushi restaurants or on burgers like Popeyes chicken sandwich but have never tried to make at home. So today is the day!
