Avocado Mayonnaise Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup olive oil (or avocado oil for a more neutral flavor)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar (to add tang)
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional, for extra flavor)
- 1 small garlic clove (optional, minced for a garlicky kick)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Prepare the avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add the liquids: Add the olive oil (or avocado oil), lemon juice (or vinegar), Dijon mustard, and garlic (if using) to the blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender to make sure everything is fully combined.
- Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, and blend again.
- Adjust consistency: If it’s too thick, you can add a little bit of water or extra lemon juice to thin it out to your desired consistency.
- Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together. You can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Uses:
