Notes
Use ripe avocados for the creamiest texture and best flavor. Fresh lemon juice not only enhances the taste but also helps prevent browning. Store the mayonnaise in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 3–4 days.
Tips
You can add a few fresh herbs like cilantro, parsley, or basil for extra flavor. For a spicy version, blend in a pinch of chili flakes or jalapeño. If you prefer a tangier taste, add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Always use high-quality olive oil for the best result.
