Avocado mayonnaise

• 1 avocado (ripe avocado recommended)
• 1 egg
• 150 ml sunflower oil
• Salt
• Lime juice

Step 1

When preparing a mayonnaise, the first step is always to make a base to work on. Sunflower oil is an ideal choice because it does not affect the final flavour too much and we let the avocado take centre stage when we add it.

Step 2

Beat the egg in a separate bowl. The reason for doing it in another bowl is that, if it is a fresh egg, shells or some dirt may fall out, which is easier to remove if we only have this ingredient without additives.

Step 3

Add half a tablespoon of salt and a few drops of lime (you can substitute lemon if you prefer). Then add a little more than half of the oil that we have prepared separately and start whisking.

Step 4

Whisk slowly at first, turning up the mixer so that the mayonnaise gradually whips up. As it acquires texture, add all the oil until there is none left and continue whisking until the mayonnaise is ready.

Step 5

Now we start with the avocado. If we have chosen a ripe one, it will be easier to work with. Cut it in half and remove the stone. Scoop out the flesh from each half and cut it into small pieces. Now add these pieces to the mayonnaise base and add more lime.

Step 6

Blend everything with a blender until you see that you have a homogeneous mixture.

Step 7

This avocado mayonnaise recipe is meant to be eaten immediately, so you can present it now. Dump it all into a bowl to make it easier to use with the food you want to serve with it. Garnish with a little parsley or similar. The perfect touch for an original mayonnaise with a touch of avocado that will not go unnoticed.
