Ingredients
Greek Yogurt: Greek yogurt serves as the creamy base for this Skinny Bang Bang Sauce, providing a rich texture without the mayo. Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt for the best flavor balance.
Sour Cream: The sour cream adds a tangy depth that complements the yogurt, contributing to the sauce’s smooth and rich consistency. For a lighter version, you can use reduced-fat sour cream.
Sweet Chili Sauce: This sauce brings a natural sweetness and mild heat to the mix, making it the perfect counterbalance to the spicy sriracha.
Sriracha: Sriracha adds the heat and a touch of garlic to this sauce, giving it a bold kick. Adjust the amount depending on your preferred spice level.
Rice Vinegar: The rice vinegar provides a touch of acidity, which helps balance the creaminess of the yogurt and sour cream while brightening the overall flavor of the sauce.

Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- ¼ cup sriracha or any hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt adjust as per taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add the Greek yogurt, sour cream, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, rice vinegar, and salt.
- Whisk all the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and well combined. Taste the sauce and adjust the spiciness to your liking.
- Use the Bang Bang Sauce immediately, or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- Greek yogurt provides a tangy and creamy base that works well in place of mayonnaise.
- Adjust the consistency by adding a small amount of water if the sauce is too thick.
- Using a mix of Greek yogurt and sour cream makes the sauce creamier and less tangy compared to using just Greek yogurt, which is thicker and more tangy. The combination offers a balanced flavor and smoother texture.
