This Is Probably One of The Most Delicious Ways To Prepare Avocado

Our Favorite Avocado Recipe

We all love eggs, and in turn, love mayo, but consuming this deliciously creamy sauce in excess can increase the risk of heart disease.

One tablespoon of the stuff contains 1.6 grams of saturated fat which if eaten often, can lead to high cholesteral and therefore a pretty unhealthy heart.

This mayo alternative is one of our faves as it's made using one of the healthiest foods in the world. It's super tasty and most importantly, just as creamy! 

The Magic Ingredient

You guessed it, the secret ingredient is avocado! Packed full of vitamins A, B6, E, and K, it also contains fat that's actually good for your heart. Olive oil is used in this reicpe too as it's also a great source of healthy fat. Both are full of antioxidants that can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease, and even ward off certain neurodegenerative diseases.

Ingredients (for 1 cup)

• 1 large ripe avocado (halved and pitted)
• 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin olive oil is best!)
• 1 tbsp lime uice
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and black pepper (for seasoning)

Instuctions

1. Dice the avocado and put into a bowl with the olive oil, lime juice, garlic powder and Dijon mustard.
2. Using an immersion blender blender, mix the ingredients in 5 second intervals until smooth and creamy.
3. If the mixture is too thick, add 1 tbsp of water at a time until you reach your desired smoothness. 
4. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately. Yum!

Good to know: The lime juice will prevent the avocado from turning brown. If placed in an air tight container and stored in the refrigerator, the mayo should last for up to 4 days.
