Instructions:

Select the Right Avocado:
Begin by choosing a ripe avocado that is firm yet slightly yielding to the touch. The flesh should be green and not too soft, ensuring the right balance of texture for your mayo. -
Prepare the Avocado:
Cut the avocado in half lengthwise. Remove the pit carefully and, using a smooth-edged knife, peel off the skin. Dice the flesh into small cubes to yield approximately 260g of avocado. -
Extract the Lime Juice:
Slice a lime in half and squeeze it to extract 15g of fresh lime juice. The acidity from the lime will help balance the rich creaminess of the avocado. -
Blend the Ingredients:
Place the avocado cubes into a blender or food processor. Add the sesame oil, rice milk, lime juice, a pinch of sea salt, and a few dashes of Tabasco® if you want to add a touch of heat. -
Blend Until Smooth:
Blend the mixture until it forms a smooth, creamy consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides of the blender to ensure everything is thoroughly incorporated. -
Taste and Adjust:
Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you like it spicier, add a few more drops of Tabasco®. If the mixture is too thick, you can add a bit more rice milk to reach your desired consistency. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once you’re happy with the texture and flavor, transfer the avocado mayo to a serving bowl. It’s ready to enjoy as a spread, dip, or dressing!
This creamy avocado mayo is a perfect substitute for traditional mayonnaise, bringing a vibrant and fresh twist to your favorite dishes. It’s ideal for anyone looking to enjoy a healthier, plant-based option that still delivers on flavor and richness.
