The best recipes with avocado

Diet avocado mayonnaise*

Mayonnaise is one of the most popular sauces, but in many cases one of the heaviest and least healthy for the body. That's why today we want to introduce you to a new recipe for mayonnaise... With avocado! Its healthy fats make it much more nutritious and lighter, but it retains the flavour and texture that make the avocado the perfect fruit to keep in shape.

This new healthy version can be used as an addition to your regular meals and can also replace the classic sunflower oil in traditional avocado mayonnaise, making it ideal for maintaining a balanced diet. It is also creamy and packed with nutritional benefits.

Ingredients

 

1 boiled egg

1 drop of natural lemon juice

1 large clove of garlic

7 grams of fresh chives

175 grams of ripe avocado (peeled and pitted)

40 grams of water

Salt for taste

1 or 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

 

 

Instructions

 

The boiled egg needs to be prepared well in advance, so the first step is to prepare a pot and boil the egg to cool it. Once the egg has cooled, peel it and put it in a blender with the avocado flesh, peeled and pitted. Add the natural lemon juice, garlic clove, water and chives. The last ingredient must be chopped so that it does not get caught in the blades of the blender.

Once you have all the ingredients, add salt to taste and start blending until you have a sauce with a texture and thickness similar to traditional mayonnaise. For a better effect, it is advisable to add 20 grams of water first and then, depending on the texture obtained, add it to the mixture.

When the mixture has reached the right thickness, taste it to adjust the salt if necessary and add a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil for more flavour. Taste again and add another tablespoon if necessary. You can also add a pinch of ground pepper for a more intense and spicy flavour.

 

We recommend using this delicious avocado mayonnaise with grilled vegetables, fish, seafood or on sandwiches as it provides nutritional value with great taste and texture.
