This Easy Avocado Mayonnaise is a delightful and healthier twist on the classic mayonnaise, incorporating the rich and creamy goodness of fresh avocado. This tasty condiment offers a delicious alternative to store-bought mayo, providing a unique flavor and nutritional benefits from avocado.
We love making our homemade mayonnaise using real avocado. This recipe has a smooth, creamy texture with a rich, buttery taste. It adds a delicious twist to our favorite sandwiches, wraps, and salads.
Ingredients Needed
The ingredients we need are pretty basic.
- Avocado - Ripe hass avocado with a creamy and smooth texture gives the best result for a mayonnaise recipe.
- Avocado Oil - Adds creaminess and texture.
- Fresh Lemon or Lime Juice - This adds flavor, it has natural preservatives, and the natural acidity of the juice keeps the avocado fresh, preventing it from becoming too heavy or cloying.
- Seasonings - My go-to seasoning for this easy Avocado Mayo are salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. You can add your favorite herbs and spices of your choice.
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Squeeze fresh lemon, drizzle avocado oil, and sprinkle salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
- Blend all the ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency. If the mixture is too thick, you can add water and continue blending until you get the desired consistency.
- Taste test and adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
- Transfer the avocado mayo to a container. Enjoy!
Storage Tips
Store the homemade avocado mayonnaise in the refrigerator. It is best to use this condiment for 3-5 days.
