Vegan avocado mayo.
Why I ā¤ļø it
There is a reason for this recipe for avocado vegan mayo being here: For more than half my life, I was either a vegan or a vegetarian, although I am currently neither. My travails and misadventures inspired me to give my fellow veggie lovers more options in the kitchen. And if my recipes help a host make a vegan guest feel welcome, my work will have been done.
This will be a time when even the fiercest meat-lover will find no fault in a vegan substitute. It packs the flavor and creaminess of homemade mayonnaise, and the good fat and nutritional benefits of avocado. Great alternative for those worried about the gazillion grams of cholesterol in regular mayonnaise.

Step 1: Mixing

Top tips
- I first tested the recipe using olive oil but found that the mayo had a bit of an aftertaste, so I preferred avocado oil mayo. You can use any vegetable oil with a neutral flavor too.
- If you don't have rice vinegar, mix Ā¼ cup of apple cider vinegar diluted with 4 tablespoons of cold water. Rice vinegar is milder in taste and acidity.
- This avocado mayonnaise can last a couple of hours at room temperature, but it's best to store it in an airtight jar in the fridge. Refrigerated, it has a shelf life of two days. To prevent it from oxidizing and discoloring, you can place a small piece of plastic wrap touching the mayo, so it doesn't come in 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.
Thalisa
So, clara, do you have two sites? one for dominican food and one for vegan?
Tia Clara
One in Spanish, one 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 (who's not vegan) in cooking for me the traditional dominican meals when I visit...
Awesome job!
Nahomy
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 about other types of foods, it helps us evolve and become more educated not only through food but in many other areas. Btw I have met quite a few vegan and vegetarian dominicans and trust me I give them lots of credit in being so being that our culture is so carnivorous. Thank you for teaching and sharing your many great recipes! I love this blog!

Wow, this sounds exactly like what I have been looking for. Can't wait to try it ~ Thanks for the recipe. š

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.
Tia Clara
It is 3/4 teaspoon. š
Mari
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 you provide healthier alternatives (vegetarian/vegan, lower sugar, low fat, etc.) in your delicious recipes. Please keep up the amazing work that you do!
Tia Clara
Thank you so much for the nice words.
Suzanne Perazzini
I often use avocado instead of mayonnaise, and I believe you that classic mayonnaise has a gazijillion grams of cholesterol.
Gatita
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 have tried a few. Keep up the great work! Please post your veg sancocho soon..it's cold here..we could use a little warming up!
Tia Clara
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.
Loren Anthony
Yes! Great idea!
The Mistress of Spices
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!
