Ingredients Needed

Here is the list of ingredients to make this homemade avocado mayo along with what each ingredient does for the recipe.

• Egg acts as an emulsifier that helps bind the oil and other ingredients together to create a smooth and creamy texture.
• Avocado Oil contributes to the creaminess of the mayo and provides that smooth consistency mayo has. It also brings a subtle butter flavor. Common substitutes would be extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, or sunflower oil.
• Lemon Juice has citric acid that brings a tangy flavor and helps balance the richness of the oil and egg. It also acts as a natural preservative which can help prolong shelf life. Lime juice, white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or rice vinegar can be substituted for lemon juice.
• Mustard acts as an emulsifier that helps to stabilize the mixture and prevent it from separating. While also providing a subtle tanginess and depth of flavor. Egg yolks would be a great substitute for mustard. Change out yellow mustard for Dijon mustard to give a different overall flavor to the mayo.
• Salt enhances the flavor of the mayo by balancing out the other ingredients. You can replace the salt sea salt, garlic powder, or garlic salt for a different flavor to the homemade mayo.
