Avocado Mayo is a wonderfully rich and creamy alternative to mayonnaise and has all the rejuvenating and antioxidant powers that avocados are famous for.

This is an easy recipe that you can also make your own by using lime juice instead of lemon, adding a garlic cove or even a pinch of chilli powder.

You Will Need

labelled ingredients needed to make avocado mayo

How to Make It 

Gather your ingredients and make sure your lemon juice is ready to go, so that you can make it up quickly before your avocado starts to brown.

Cut your avocado into chunks and place it in a blender or small food processor; add your oil, lemon juice, water and a pinch of salt.

Blitz until smooth and creamy; it should have the consistency of mayonnaise.
Add more water or lemon juice if needed.

Taste and adjust seasonings according to your taste; you may need to add a bit more lemon juice or salt at this point.

What Can I Use It On?

This wonderful creamy avocado mayo can be used in pretty much the same way as you would regular mayo -

  • use it in your salads such as coleslaw, pasta, or anything else you can think of
  • use it as a spread in your sandwiches or wraps
  • spoon over tacos or roasted vegetables
  • use it as a dip for crudités or potato wedges or pita bread

Common Questions

Can I Make Avocado Mayo Without Oil?

Yes, I have just made it without and swapped the oil for extra water and lemon juice and it tasted just as amazing!

Do I Need A Food Processor or Blender to Make?

  • Using a food processor or a blender, makes the blitzing your avocado mayo a breeze and a much smoother consistency.
  • But you can just used a fork or potato masher if you don't have one. It be a bit more rustic but it will still taste amazing!

How Long Does Avocado Mayo Keep?

  • Even though avocados have a tendency to go brown, we have added lemon juice, so you will find that your avocado mayo will keep covered in the fridge for approximately 3-4 days.
  • Make sure that you place some cling film/wrap on top so the top doesn't brown.
