Avocado mayonnaise is indeed a delicious and nutritious alternative to traditional mayonnaise. Here’s a simple recipe to prepare it:
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (or lime juice)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water (optional, for consistency)
Instructions:
- Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and place it in a bowl.
- Add the lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic (if using) to the bowl with the avocado.
- Using a fork or a blender, mash or blend the avocado mixture until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a little water, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Season the avocado mayonnaise with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
- Transfer the avocado mayonnaise to a clean jar or container with a tight-fitting lid.
- You can use the avocado mayonnaise immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use. It’s best consumed within a few days to maintain freshness.
- Enjoy your homemade avocado mayonnaise as a spread on sandwiches, a dip for vegetables, or as a topping for salads. It’s creamy, flavorful, and packed with healthy fats from the avocado.
Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences. You can also add herbs like cilantro or parsley for extra flavor if desired. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious avocado mayonnaise!
