Mayonnaise is a versatile and essential ingredient in various recipes, but let’s face it, it’s not always the healthiest option. The good news is, we have a delicious alternative for you – Avocado-Mayonnaise! Not only is it healthier, but in our opinion, it’s even tastier.
Avocado is the star of this recipe. It’s not only creamy and flavorful, but it also comes with a host of health benefits. Despite its fat content, avocado is packed with healthy fats that are actually good for you. When consumed in moderation, it can be beneficial for your health. Plus, avocado can help you feel full, making it easier to eat less. It’s also a good source of fiber, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Vitamin E.
Now let’s get to the recipe. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
- Half a room-temperature avocado
- One egg
- 2 measures of sunflower oil (using your fingers as a measure)
- 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
- Black pepper
- 2 sprigs of fresh cilantro (coriander)
- A pinch of salt
Preparation:
-
In a blender or food processor, add the avocado, egg, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
-
Slowly pour in the sunflower oil while continuing to blend. This will help emulsify the mixture and give it that creamy mayonnaise consistency.
-
Once the mixture is smooth, add a pinch of salt, some black pepper for a little kick, and the fresh cilantro. Blend again until everything is well combined.
-
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more lemon juice for a tangier flavor or more salt and pepper to taste.
And that’s it! Your delicious and healthy Avocado-Mayonnaise is ready to be enjoyed. Spread it on sandwiches, use it as a dip, or mix it into your favorite salads for a creamy and flavorful twist. Say goodbye to traditional mayo and say hello to this tasty and diet-friendly alternative. Enjoy!
