Whether you need to throw together the kids’ sandwiches quickly or you are planning to spend ample time in the kitchen preparing a potato salad from scratch, the moment you run out of mayonnaise can cause a panic – especially if there is no time for a grocery run.
With only five ingredients – many of which you may already have in your home – avocado mayonnaise can provide an easy-to-make DIY option for chefs in a pinch or cooking enthusiasts seeking a challenge.
HOW TO MAKE AVOCADO MAYONNAISE
Ingredients Needed to Yield 1 1/2 cups:
• 2 Avocados From Mexico
• Salt to taste
• Juice of half a lime
• 1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 jalapeño (optional)
Instructions:
• Halve, pit, and peel your Avocados From Mexico
• Place the avocados in a blender
• Blend lime juice and salt with avocado for 10-15 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and thick
• Slowly add in the extra-virgin olive oil as the mixture blends
• Blend until smooth and creamy; the mixture should be a soft, light-green color
• If you prefer spicy mayo, slice one jalapeño and add it to the blender. Blend until creamy and thick
Chef’s note: You may need to stop your blender occasionally to ensure the avocados do not stick to the side. If they do, scrape them back into the mixture with a spoon.
