How to Make Avocado Mayo

  1. Combine 1 ripe avocado, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1 large egg yolk (or 1 tablespoon finely minced cooked egg yolk), 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a medium bowl.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
