Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 large avocados
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/8 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- To a food processor add the ingredients in the order listed. Pulse several times and then process on LOW until a creamy consistency forms. Stop the food processor and check around the blades and edges of the work bowl for any ingredients that didn’t combine. Process on HIGH for about 30 to 60 seconds, or until desired consistency is reached. Taste test and adjust flavorings, if needed.
- Transfer to an airtight glass jar and consume within 2-3 days.
Notes
- Because this Avocado Mayo is paleo and vegan and has a short ingredient list, each ingredient plays a prominent role. For best results, have extra avocados on hand and start with small quantities for all remaining ingredients. It’s much easier to add more of something than to try to remove what has already been added.
- Smell the avocados before using them. If there is no smell, then it’s possible they are ripened enough. And if they smell pungent, it’s possible they are past their prime. You can also press the tines of a small fork into the flesh to see if it’s “mashable.” If there is no give, then it may not be ready, and if it falls apart or a smell emanates from it, then it may be spoiled.
- To keep your Avocado Mayo from being too thin or “watery” start with a small amount of olive oil and then stream in more while the food processor is running.
- Store the Avocado Mayo in a small airtight container, and if the mayo does turn brown, then scrape off the top layer or stir it again to recombine ingredients.
