This easy salad dressing recipe is especially good on a Greek salad, cucumber salad or Asian Chicken salad and you can make it right in the bottle if you only have a little bit of Sriracha left.
If you’re making this with a near-empty bottle, the amount of residual Sriracha will vary, so taste as you go and adjust the lime juice up if the heat is too intense. One tablespoon of Sriracha produces a mild heat. Two tablespoons produces a noticeably spicy dressing.

This super easy salad dressing recipe is especially good on a Greek salad, cucumber salad or Asian Chicken salad and you can make it right in the bottle if you only have a little bit of Sriracha left.
Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoons Sriracha
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Juice from 2 limes about ¼ cup
- ¼ cup good quality olive oil
Instructions
- Pour the olive oil, red wine vinegar and lime juice into a measuring cup with a spout.
- Unscrew the lid from the Sriracha and carefully pour the contents of the measuring cup into the bottle.
- Screw the lid back on, making sure that the twist top is screwed shut as well.
- Shake vigorously to combine, then squirt the desired about of vinaigrette on to your salad.
- Store the remainder in the bottle.
Notes
Can I make this without the Sriracha bottle trick? Yes! combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and shake vigorously. Or whisk together in a bowl, adding the oil last in a slow stream while whisking to emulsify. The bottle method is the most fun and produces the best emulsification, but any method works.
How long does this dressing keep? Refrigerated in the sealed Sriracha bottle or another airtight container, it keeps well for up to two weeks. The lime juice will lose some brightness after the first few days, add a fresh squeeze before serving if making ahead.
Is this vegan and gluten-free? Yes! All four ingredients are naturally vegan and gluten-free. Standard Sriracha (Huy Fong) contains no gluten ingredients, but check the label if using a different brand.
