This is a wonderful alternitive to real mayonnaise. I have been put on a strict diet and this saves the day! Makes a great salad dressing(I add a little honey), spread for sandwiches, or dip. Adapted from Raw and Living Foods. This is popular in Spain, Mexico, Central America and the Southern USA. Ingredients:
1 avocado (medium to large) |
1/2 lemon, juice of |
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste) |
1 pinch cayenne pepper (optional) |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
Directions:
1. Wash the avocado and cut it in half. Scoop out the flesh and put it into the blender.
2. Add lemon juice, salt, and cayenne pepper and blend together.
3. With blender running, add olive oil slowly. You many have to stop the machine several times to redistribute ingredients. Puree to a smooth creamy mixture.
