Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- ¼ lemon, juiced
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except oil in the bowl of your food processor and blend until pureed.
- Scrape down the sides several times to insure all the avocado is pureed.
- When the mixture is smooth, drizzle the oil slowly into the processor while blending.
- Be patient – if you add the oil all at once or too fast, you will not achieve the rich creamy mayo-like texture that you’re looking for.
- Use immediately, or store in the fridge for 3-5 days in a tightly covered in a glass jar.
Uses
- Replace mayonnaise (unhealthy fat) with avocado spread (healthy fat).
- Veggie dip
- Sandwich spread
