Introduction: Looking for a creamy, healthy alternative to traditional mayonnaise? Look no further than this avocado mayonnaise! Packed with nutrients and healthy fats, this homemade spread is not only perfect for a variety of dishes but also helps support your diet goals. This simple and quick recipe uses fresh avocados to replace the typical high-calorie ingredients found in store-bought mayo, offering a delicious and nutritious option that will elevate your meals without the guilt.
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 small garlic clove, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
1/4 cup water (optional, to adjust consistency)
Instructions:
Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a blender or food processor.
Add the ingredients: Add the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper to the blender.
Blend until smooth: Process the mixture until it becomes a creamy, smooth consistency. You can add water, a tablespoon at a time, if you prefer a thinner mayo.
Taste and adjust: Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Use this avocado mayo as a spread on sandwiches, burgers, or wraps, or as a dip for veggies and fries. It also works great in salads or as a topping for grilled meats.
Storage: Store the avocado mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Because avocado oxidizes quickly, it’s best to consume it fresh. If the mayo darkens, simply stir it before using.
