Avocado is a nutrient-dense fruit that is packed with healthy fats, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. It is a great source of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Avocado also contains potassium, which can help regulate blood pressure, and fibre, which can aid in digestion and promote feelings of fullness. Additionally, avocado is rich in vitamins C, K, and B6, as well as folate and magnesium, all of which are important for overall health and well-being. One delicious way to incorporate avocado into your diet is by making avocado mayo, a healthier alternative to traditional mayonnaise that is creamy, flavorful, and packed with nutrients.

How to make this avocado mayo

The easiest way to make this vegan mayonnaise recipe is to whizz together the avocado flesh, lime juice, garlic and Dijon mustard in a blender. Depending on the limes you are using you might need more or less lime juice. The mayonnaise will be quite thick at first so you will need to add water little by little until you get your desired consistency.

Go slowly as it is always easier to add more water rather than to try to remove some.

Once made, transfer the avocado mayo to an airtight container. It will keep in the fridge for up to three days. Because it is made from fresh avocado, it might oxidise with time and change colour.

What to serve this avocado mayo with …

This avocado mayo is a versatile condiment that can be served with a variety of dishes. It pairs well with sandwiches, burgers, wraps, and salads. It can also be used as a dip for vegetables or chips, or as a spread for toast or crackers. The creamy texture and rich flavour of avocado mayo make it a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional mayonnaise.

I also like it as a simple spread on toast, or as a filling in sandwiches or wraps as well as a topping for nachos, tacos and tortillas.

This delicious mayo is also a great source of healthy fats found in avocados. These fats are known to provide numerous health benefits, such as reducing inflammation and improving heart health.
