Olive oil
A pinch of salt
A few sprigs of fresh cilantro (adjust the amount to your preference).
Blend everything on medium to high speed until smooth and creamy, resembling traditional mayonnaise in texture.
3. Adjust the Seasoning
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the salt or cilantro as needed.
If the consistency is too thick, add water or olive oil, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired texture is achieved.
4. Store or Serve
Transfer the homemade mayonnaise into an airtight container or piping bag.
Refrigerate: If not serving immediately, store it in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 days in a tightly sealed container.
Serve: Use it as a dip for vegetables, fries, chips, or as a spread for sandwiches.
Tips and Variations:
Customization: Add a pinch of chili powder or paprika for a spicy kick.
Herb Substitution: If you’re not a fan of cilantro, replace it with parsley or chives.
Prevent Oxidation: To prevent the mayonnaise from turning brown, cover the surface with plastic wrap before sealing the container.
Conclusion:
This homemade avocado-based mayonnaise is a healthy and flavorful alternative to traditional mayonnaise. Easy to prepare and versatile, it pairs wonderfully with many dishes and snacks. Try this recipe to add a fresh and creamy touch to your meals!
