In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the extra virgin olive oil mayonnaise and harissa paste. Stir until the paste is fully incorporated.
Step 2
Add the fresh lemon juice, finely minced garlic, smoked paprika, sea salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
Step 3
If the sauce is too thick for your preference, add water one teaspoon at a time, stirring well, until the desired consistency is reached.
Step 4
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding more harissa for extra spice or lemon juice for additional tanginess.
Step 5
Transfer the spicy mayo sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 6
