Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the egg yolk, fresh lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl with the avocado.
Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients on low speed until they are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture while continuing to blend. It's crucial that the oil is added gradually to ensure the mayonnaise emulsifies properly.
As the mixture begins to thicken, add water one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
Use as a spread, dip, or dressing for your keto meals. Store in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days.
