This is a great sauce for seafood and fish. In addition, I also use it on baked potatoes. The sriracha and pepper give it a mild heat; just enough to bring a smile to your tongue. It is easy/peasy to make and is ready for action in 15 quick minutes. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

    If you do not have any sriracha sauce, you might try some chili sauce or hot sauce. However, be careful and do just a bit at a time, until you like what you taste.

    You can vary the amounts of yogurt-to-mayonnaise, or use all of one or the other, and make sure you wind up with 10 tablespoons total. Just remember, the more yogurt you use, the tangier the sauce will be. As a matter of fact, if you up the yogurt, you might want to add a bit more honey; to keep the sauce from becoming too bitter… just a suggestion.
