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.

I really love the taste of this. I added a bit of Dijon mustard and about 1.5 tbsp of non-fat Greek yogurt. I’m curious whether this can stand being frozen as this recipe makes quite a bit for one person.
Daggone, this is amazing! I do not like avocado but every several months or so i TRY to convince myself that there HAS GOT TO BE some way i can incorporate them in my diet. THIS is that way! I made broccoli cole slaw, wraps, shrimp stuffing for fish. YUM!
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!
