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.
It’s also fantastic spread on top of this Veggie Burger Recipe
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.

Delicious spread!
So delicious! This isn’t just a lower calorie alternative to mayo. It’s better tasting than mayo. Love it!
I’m so glad that I found this recipe!
It’s everything she says it will be… plus I also use it to make a Caesar salad dressing (which is finger licking good)by blending all of the ingredients above… then adding a couple of garlic cloves, a dash of Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce, a couple of more spoons of oil and water, and a few capers an anchovies.
100 stars, thank you! This avo mayo recipe is truly delicious and makes my way of eating a delight! Also, I didn’t lick the blender residue either 😉
Thank you so much for making it 🙂
Do you think this would freeze well?
Hmm, we don’t think it would be as creamy, but we have not tried. So perhaps it would!
Ahhhh you weren’t kidding about licking the blender, I laughed out loud when I realized that’s exactly what I was about to do. This is beyond good, I can’t wait to use it on Kenji’s Really Awesome Black Bean Burgers this evening!
Hi. This looks great! Can you substitute the vinegar for more lemon juice?
Thanks, Gracie
We haven’t tried it so honestly don’t know what it would taste like. Be sure to reply back if you do try!

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.
Perfect! 👌🥑👍♥️
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?
Amazing!!!
