Skinny Bang Bang Sauce – a lighter version of the restaurant favorite. Only 4 ingredients, 5 minutes, and just a little bit spicy. A super versatile recipe!
Perfect to make as a dipping sauce for veggies or seafood. Or, you can drizzle on top of other meals or include in wraps for added flavor.
There is a dish at the restaurant Bonefish Grill that many people love called Bang Bang Shrimp.
Since this is a vegetarian blog, I’m using this dip for Bang Bang Cauliflower, but you don’t have to tell me if you use this for a seafood recipe 🙂
You can also use as a dipper for other vegetables, like this bang bang brussels sprouts recipe! Or this stuffed cucumber “sushi” recipe.
I have a pattern of making things “skinny” by replacing mayonnaise with greek yogurt (just like in my recent pimento cheese recipe).
Adding sweet chili sauce (I got mine at Trader Joe’s) and hot sauce (extra sriracha for the win) you can’t even tell it’s a lightened up version.
The final ingredient is rice vinegar, which is optional if you don’t have it available (I tried it without at first), but I do think it gave it that little something extra.
Bang Bang Sauce Ingredients:
The recipe is very simple – 1/4 cup plain greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, 2 teaspoons sriracha and 2 teaspoons rice vinegar.
I of course added an extra teaspoon of sriracha to make it extra spicy, but depending on your preferences you can adjust it down or up as needed.
Takes 5 minutes or less depending on how fast you are at measuring things.

I couldn't help but giggle at the name of this :P I'm the same and often replace mayo with yogurt for a lighter version. I often add a little lemon to mayo dishes but by swapping the mayo for yogurt I find I don't need the extra acidity!
