Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 0.5 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add the egg yolk, fresh lime juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper to the bowl with the avocado.
Step 3
Using an immersion blender, blend the ingredients on low speed until they are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth.
Step 4
Slowly drizzle the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture while continuing to blend. It's crucial that the oil is added gradually to ensure the mayonnaise emulsifies properly.
Step 5
As the mixture begins to thicken, add water one tablespoon at a time to reach your desired consistency.
Step 6
Taste the mayonnaise and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice if needed.
Step 7
Transfer the mayonnaise to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
Step 8
Use as a spread, dip, or dressing for your keto meals. Store in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days.
