One taste of this healthy avocado mayo, and you might never want to go back to regular mayonnaise again!
Have You Tried Avocado Mayonnaise Yet?
What might have started out as just a crazy health food fad has suddenly gone mainstream.
I’ve recently noticed that even big brands such as Kraft and Hellman’s are now offering their own versions in regular grocery stores.
As someone who loves both avocados and mayonnaise, I’m honestly surprised it’s taken me this long to get on board.
But now that I’m hooked, there’s no looking back.
Hopefully you will love this easy and super healthy avocado mayo recipe as much as I do.

Ways To Use This Avocado Mayo
I’m not going to tell you that I was eating it straight from the blender with a spoon.
And I’m definitely not going to tell you that I was licking the blender blades and recommend you do the same.
You didn’t hear that.
What I am going to tell you is that this creamy avocado mayo can be used in many of the same ways you’d use regular mayo, including spreading it on top of sandwiches, adding it to potato or pasta salads, spooning it over tacos or roasted vegetables, or using it as a dip for oven baked french fries.

People often ask how I come up with my recipes.
In the case of this mayonnaise, I literally looked up the ingredients of regular mayonnaise (oil, water, eggs, vinegar, salt, sugar, lemon, natural flavors) and used those same ingredients but substituted avocado for the egg and omitted the sugar.
I played around with amounts until happy with the taste and thickness, then I decided to throw in a little onion and garlic powder because I thought it still needed something, and those are my go-to spices.
Out of curiosity, I made a second version with extra water instead of the oil, and I thought both versions were completely delicious.
Then came the aforementioned part where I definitely didn’t eat it straight from the blender.
No, definitely not.

Such a good (and delicious) way to use up left over avocado without the remnants becoming sad and brown after a few hours in the fridge. Great for vegan friends, too.

Awesome recipe! I cannot stomach store bought alternative mayos. I added some full fat coconut milk from a can (maybe 1/4 cup or less) came out to perfect consistency and the flavour is awesome. Tested before coconut addition and great both ways. This just added a bit of smoothness with a hint of sweet.

I’ve made this a few times and loved it! I find now because of an upcoming trip, I will need to freeze some to have it last a little over a week. If when I thaw it out the consistency has changed, Wood running it through a minii food processor help with that?

I made this! and it was SO good and easy! I have been looking for a healthier version of mayo other than store bought, and I like avocado’s so I tried your recipe! I am so happy I did. It was delicious and I didn’t have to use any egg’s! Thank you for this, I think I found my new go to mayo now! Also, I stored it in a small ball glass jar but I kept the avocado pit in the jar with it, and not one speck of brown and its been close to a week!
