Ingredients:

Name	Metric	US
Vegetable Oil	150 ml	2/3 cup
You can use any mild-flavored oil, such as extra virgin olive oil, grapeseed oil, or avocado oil
Chickpea Water (aquafaba)	50 ml	1/4 cup
Chickpea water, also known as aquafaba, is the liquid that remains after cooking or draining chickpeas. It has gained popularity in vegan cooking and baking as a versatile egg replacer and binding agent. Aquafaba is used for its ability to mimic the properties of egg whites, such as foaming, emulsifying, and binding. It can be whipped into stiff peaks like meringue or used as an ingredient in recipes like vegan mayonnaise, mousse, or baked goods to provide structure and texture without the use of eggs.
Apple Cider Vinegar/ Lemon Juice	15 ml	1 tablespoon
Lemon juice plays a crucial role in vegan mayo recipes by contributing to flavor, texture, and stability, ensuring a delicious and well-balanced final product. Adjusting the amount of lemon juice allows you to fine-tune the flavor to your preference.
Mustard	5 gr	1 teaspoon
Avocado, ripe	1	1
You generally want avocados that are ripe but not overly soft or mushy. They should be firm enough to hold their shape when blended or mashed, yet soft enough to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
Salt	3 gr	1/2 teaspoon
Pepper	3 gr	1/2 teaspoon

Equipment:

Blender, or immersion blender

Steps:

Step 1

Prepare the ingredients: extra virgin olive oil (2/3 cup), chickpea water (¼ cup), vinegar (1 tablespoon), mustard (1 teaspoon), avocado (1), salt and pepper.

Step 2

Blend the ingredients: Place the immersion blender into the container with the oil, chickpea water, vinegar and mustard ensuring that the blender head is fully submerged. Start blending at the bottom, and as the mixture begins to emulsify, slowly lift the blender up until all the oil is incorporated.

Step 3

Add avocado and blend until incorporated and the mayo has reached your desired consistency. This usually takes less than a minute with an immersion blender.

Step 4

Taste the mayo and add salt, pepper as needed. You can also adjust the flavor by adding more lemon juice or mustard if desired.

Step 5

Enjoy your homemade Vegan Avocado Mayo!
