The Benefits of Avocado and Egg Mayo

Heart-Healthy Fats: Traditional mayo often uses inflammatory seed oils (like soybean or canola). This version uses avocado, which is packed with monounsaturated fats that support heart health.

High-Quality Protein: The addition of egg provides a complete protein source, including choline, which is vital for brain health and metabolism.

Rich in Fiber and Potassium: Unlike standard mayo, which is nutritionally “empty,” the avocado adds significant fiber for digestion and more potassium than a banana.

Lutein for Eye Health: Both egg yolks and avocados contain lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that protect your eyes from blue light and age-related damage.

1-Minute Vibrant Avocado Mayonnaise
This recipe uses an immersion blender for a foolproof, creamy result.

Ingredients
1 large Egg (at room temperature)

1 medium Ripe avocado (pitted and scooped out)

1 cup Avocado oil (for a neutral flavor and smooth emulsion)

1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice (the acid helps preserve the green color)

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (acts as a natural emulsifier)

ยฝ teaspoon Fine sea salt

Optional: A pinch of garlic powder or fresh cilantro for extra zing.

Instructions
Layer the Ingredients: In a tall, wide-mouth mason jar (just wide enough to fit your immersion blender), add the egg first. Then add the avocado chunks, lemon juice, mustard, and salt.

Add the Oil: Pour the avocado oil on top of the other ingredients.

The Emulsion: Place the immersion blender all the way to the bottom of the jar, right over the egg. Turn it on high and do not move it for about 15โ€“20 seconds. You will see the white and green cream start to climb up the sides.

Finish Blending: Once the bottom is thick, slowly tilt and lift the blender to incorporate the remaining oil on top until the mixture is completely smooth and fluffy.

Store: Transfer to an airtight jar. Because of the fresh avocado, this is best enjoyed within 3โ€“4 days. Keep it in the refrigerator.
