Easy Healthy Homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise is far superior to any brand you can buy in the store because it's made with healthy avocado monounsaturated fats and no preservatives.
Making homemade mayo had been on my list of things I wanted to make for a long, long time. Since my husband and I recently started eating a high-healthy-fat, low-carb diet, so now was the time.
Every homemade mayonnaise recipe I'd seen calls for olive oil and eggs. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I wanted to bump up the healthy fat quota of my mayonnaise, so I decided to do a mix of avocado oil and olive oil.
Did you know that avocados are considered one of the healthiest foods you can consume? It's true. They packed with healthy monounsaturated fats; they're naturally nutrient-dense, and they each contain nearly 20 vitamins and minerals. Talk about a superfood!
To learn more about the health benefits of avocados, all it takes is a quick internet search, and you'll be blown away by what you find. Even though avocados are high in calories, they're the calories your internal organs, and your brain require to keep in tip top condition. We've all heard the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Well, I think it's high time that saying is rewritten, and the avocado takes its deserved place in the sun.

Homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise is especially delicious when slathered on a sandwich made with a few slices of hearty artisan bread. Oh Yeah! Since I'm not eating carbs right now, I'm doing my best to stay away from the bread of any kind...but a girl can dream, can't she?
Here are a few delicious loaves of bread I've shared the recipe for that this Homemade Avocado Oil Mayonnaise would be particularly good on:

After seeing how gorgeous your mayo is I question myself about me failing making it from scratch at home. It so simple and your avocado oil touch is brilliant!

Avocado oil has been readily available in my local market for the past year or so, Katrina. Before that, I had to buy it in speciality stores, or on the internet. It's well worth it though. I use it in dressings too. SO good!
Katrina says
I'm going to have to break down (been wanting to anyway) and get some avocado oil. I don't eat store bought mayo anymore and never take the time to make homemade. Well, except I did once and didn't follow a recipe, tried some different things with a few recipes and it did not turn out well. Need to give it another try and stick with a recipe. 😉
