Really good. I always buy Duke's mayo- no sugar added, comes in a pouch with a spout so no waste. I made this with the apple cider vinegar and next time I will sub white balsamic.

Then again, the chili sauce and mayonnaise each list 9 ingredients. This is kind of like saying "One ingredient pasta sauce- buy a bucket of Ragu".

And when have you ever seen a recipie that uses a commercial product list all of its ingredients........ silly, you don't have to get all 9 just buy the jar, or better yet you keep buying Ragu in the jar......... sheesh

Your comment critiquing the title of three ingredients as really being 9 is both silly and juvenile.

That's actually 22 ingredients, less any duplicates, but whatever. It's a matter of orientation; if you're only interested in shopping it's a fairly short list. On the chance that there might still be a serious cook or two using this site who would be more interested in what they're actually making, it seemed worth pointing out that characterizing this as a simple dish is very misleading.

Ha!..... You just proved my point. You actually took the time to count and compare for duplicates, all the ingredients on a simple trio of items commonly used seperately but perhaps not all together. That was the authors point...... You proved my point, .......silly, juvenile, and now bordering on sad.

Dear fellow, if all you have to offer is vague insults both common decency and F52 policy would suggest that you should put a sock in it.

I bought some Thai themed seafood burgers (frozen) at our local Sprouts here in Tucson and decided to make a quick salad super of them this evening. I also had a HUGE jar of Chili Garlic Sauce I had no idea what to do with, and so I looked up recipes for a dressing to utilize. This was absolutely PERFECT!
And, while not your recipe, I am happy to say that the burgers were great, too! I really wasn't expecting much. LOL. But they were, indeed, Thai-tasting and went perfect atop some mixed greens and veggies, that included some mini-corn and water chestnuts. Your dressing really made the Thai flavors stand out! (A glass of Sauvignon Blanc with a hint of lemon grass didn't hurt.)
I did sub lime juice for the vinegar, but this will be a staple in my dressing lineup now, for sure! Thanks for such a beautiful, simple dressing recipe!

Oops. Correction. I used 2 TBLS of lime juice in place of the 2 tsp cider vinegar. My bad...

I’ve tried the dressing and it’s great. I’m curious if the dish that it’s used on in the photo above is also a food52 recipe? That looks awesome as well.

I made this sauce but it is too hot for me. However, if you like it hot, it is delicious.

That combo of mayo / acid / chili garlic sauce is a staple here. We top omelets with it, use it as salad dressing, burger condiment, etc, etc. Sometimes we don't even mix the main ingredients! Haven't yet tried this on ice cream, but … well … it has possibilities.
