Preparation
1. Mixing
In the blender vase, combine all the ingredients and blend until the mixture is perfectly smooth.
2. Serving and storing
- Serve right away as a dip or condiment. Pour into a lidded jar and keep refrigerated (it lasts up to 3 days).
Top tips
- Best oil: I first tried the recipe with olive oil, but I found that the mayonnaise had a slightly bitter aftertaste, so I preferred avocado oil mayonnaise.
You can also use any neutral-tasting vegetable oil. - Best vinegar: If you don't have rice vinegar, mix ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar diluted with 4 tablespoons of cold water. Rice vinegar has a milder flavor and acidity.
- Storing: This avocado mayonnaise will keep for a couple of hours at room temperature, but it's best to store it in an airtight jar in the refrigerator. Refrigerated, it will keep for 2-3 days.
To prevent it from oxidizing and turning brown, you can place a small piece of plastic wrap touching the mayonnaise so that it doesn't come into contact with the air in the jar.
How to serve avocado mayo
You can serve this mayo with your favorite vegan chips. I like them with tostones, sweet potato fries, and yuca fries.
I love this avocado mayonnaise as a condiment in sandwiches, like this vegan grilled vegetables sandwich.
It's great in canapes, like in this pescatarian avocado and smoked salmon appetizer, or these ripe plantain mofonguitos.
You can use it as an ingredient in this smooth and flavorful dip.

I saw this on Instagram and I loved the idea. It is AMAZING. Thanks for sharing vegan recipes.
So, clara, do you have two sites? one for dominican food and one for vegan?
One for Dominican food (in Spanish and in English). Both have a section for vegan recipes. The recipes are mixed, and some may require changes (I already suggest them in the recipe notes): https://www.dominicancooking.com/recipes/vegan
Avacado Mayo
Thanks for the great idea!!!
I'm not a vegan but...
I make my own home made mayo using either avo oil or
macadamia oil. Much lighter than olive oil.

I love that you have vegan recipes!!! I am vegan and also 100% dominican....being dominican doesn't mean you have to be a meet eater! I love seeing all your versions because it inspires me in my future dreams of becoming a vegan restaurant owner with dominican influences and my mother… Read more »
I hope that is going well for you! -your fellow flexitarian Dominican <3
I am dominican and I am not vegan or vegetarian and to be honest I don't know if I could ever be but I do appreciate that you post all types of foods and food choices. Sometimes alternatives are better than the orginal plus it is always nice to learn… Read more »
Wow, this sounds exactly like what I have been looking for. Can't wait to try it ~ Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
Aunt Clara, looks like a wonderful recipe but shouldn't the 3/4 tablespoon of salt not be changed with 3/4 teaspoon or something. My take on this sauce is like eating pure salt. Don't get me wrong, I love salt.
It is 3/4 teaspoon. 🙂
Vegan or no vegan this is a great alternative to mayo. Thanks Clara for the recipe and this wonderful read.

I also very much love your vegetarian/vegan versions of our beloved Dominican food. Like you, I am neither fully vegetarian/vegan as I also eat fish, but otherwise I do mostly follow a plant based diet (and I am Dominican). Please know that many of us do appreciate the fact that… Read more »
Thank you so much for the nice words.
I often use avocado instead of mayonnaise, and I believe you that classic mayonnaise has a gazijillion grams of cholesterol.
I don't normally comment on any of the sites I visit but after reading your post for this week, I felt I had to. You should know that I appreciate your efforts at posting vegetarian and vegan versions of Dominican plates. I always look forward to your veg recipes and… Read more »
Thank you, thank you very much. It's nice to know I am not talking to myself here when it comes to my vegan dishes. I love me some vegetables, so I will keep doing it.
Yes! Great idea!
I love the idea of an avocado mayo, not being a big fan of regular mayo (a gazillion grams of cholesterol indeed!) and a lover of avocados. Thanks for the recipe!
