Ingredient Notes and Substitutes

  • Dijon mustard: You can use your favourite mustard, wholegrain mustard will taste fantastic but you may see grains of the mustard visible in the end product.
  • Parsley: This can be left out or substituted for chives
  • Oil: You will need a mild flavoured oil, rice bran or a very mild olive oil will work. If you use extra virgin olive oil you may find that your avocado aioli will taste strongly of olive oil rather than avocado.

Top Tips

Here is how you can make this avocado aioli perfectly every time!

  • Choose soft avocados, to make smooth creamy aioli from avocados you will need to start with soft avocados.
  • Blend, blend, blend: Blend until super smooth
  • If you don't wish to use oil in your avocado aioli, you can actually use the same amount of water to thin down the aioli, the end result is still delicious but I find when I make it with oil it is creamier and has a longer shelf life.

    Delicious! My sceptical husband (and kids) thoroughly enjoyed it, thought it was bought aioli mixed with avocado!

  2. My daughter has an egg allergy and one of the things I miss the most is aioli. This is so delicious and safe. I prefer it to what is served at restaurants. Thank you!!
