Homemade Avocado Mayonnaise
This avocado mayonnaise is next-level creamy & goes with everything. A healthier, plant-based twist on classic mayo.
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe avocados flesh only
- 50 ml neutral oil you can use olive oil if you know that the taste goes with whatever you’ll use the mayo for
- 30-50 ml water
- 1 large garlic clove peeled
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice about 1 lemon
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon mustard optional but highly recommended
- Optional: herbs of choice like ½ bunch of parsley or basil
For a lighter version:
- Substitute the oil and water with 150g (about 0.6 cups) unsweetened plant-based yogurt
For an Asian-inspired twist omit the mustard and herbs and add:
- 20-30 g cilantro
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 fingersized knob of ginger no need to peel if using organic
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a blender or a tall container for an immersion blender.
- Blend until completely smooth and creamy. If the mixture feels too thick, add a little more water (1 tablespoon at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust with extra lemon juice, salt, or pepper if needed.
