Where to use it?
Sandwiches – As a spread.
Salads – As a mix-in or simply turn into a tasty dressing. In egg salad, use it as a healthy substitute.
Burgers – Yes, why not add it as a condiment when grilling some burgers? Whether they are with or without meat like buckwheat burgers, the mayo adds a ton of flavor to either of them!
French fries – Instead of regular mayonnaise! It will also be delicious with sweet potato fries!
Useful tips
- Take the recipe as a guide only. The quantities used may be changed to your liking. Garlic powder can be omitted.
- Instead of lime, you can use fresh lemon juice.
- For best results and to keep this homemade avocado mayo as healthy as possible, use olive oil, preferably the extra virgin kind. I recommend using the one you have already experienced with as some good quality oils tend to be bitter and this might not be to everyone’s taste.
- Keep in mind that as with many products, even different brands of salt and pepper might not taste the same. For that reason, be careful when adding seasoning. It is always better to start with less and taste several times (if needed) than end up with over-seasoned condiment.
- The lime juice stops the mayo from turning brown. If you use less of it, it may not be enough to keep its green color.
- You can use avocado oil as a substitute – it has a mild flavor but for the healthiest results, olive is the best.
- Make sure to use ripe avocados!
