Ingredients

Makes 1 serving

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 lemon juice
  • 1 olive oil
  • 1 water
  • salt

Method

  1. Place all ingredients into a bowl or large mug and blend with an immersion blender (hand held blender). You can also use a blender or food processor, but given the small quantity of mayo you will be making it is much easier and more efficient to use a hand blender (makes clean-up easier too).

  2. Enjoy! You can use this as you would use regular mayonnaise - try it on sandwiches, in salads etc.

Cook's notes

  • Use a perfectly ripe avocado for the smoothest, most buttery consistency.
  • If your blender is struggling to catch the small amount of ingredients, use a small food processor or a personal-sized blender cup.
  • Add a splash of filtered water if you prefer a thinner, pourable dressing consistency.

Easy swaps

  • Replace apple cider vinegar with fresh lemon juice for a brighter, citrusy flavor profile.
  • If you aren't strictly following a Candida protocol, a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder adds an extra layer of savory depth.
  • Fresh cilantro or parsley can be blended in for a vibrant green herb-mayo.

Frequently asked

Is this avocado mayonnaise strictly Candida-friendly?

Yes, this recipe is designed to be free from processed sugars, vinegars (other than apple cider vinegar which is often permitted in moderation), and yeast, making it suitable for most Candida-focused eating plans.

How do I keep my avocado mayo from turning brown?

The acidity from the apple cider vinegar helps slow down oxidation. For best results, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the mayo before closing the container to minimize air exposure.

Can I make a larger batch of this?

While you can double the recipe, keep in mind that avocado-based dressings have a short shelf life. It is best to prepare only what you plan to eat within a single day.
