Green Mayo

Its been so long since I blogged!  It is a difficult thing to work into the schedule, but I'm not giving up.  They may not come frequently, but they will still come.  Anyway, on to my favorite new recipe.

Green Mayo is a recent attempt of mine to get more fat and herbs into our diet.  We love veggies and I love to chop up veggies very small (chopped salad) and then dump the mayo on top.  We also use it as a dip for veggies or we eat it with brisket or hamburger patties.

Green Mayo

Ingredients:

1-2 ripe avocados
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
bunches of herbs!
You can use any fresh herbs you have in your garden or dried herbs like cilantro, basil, thyme, oregano.  I love to send one of the kids out to just pick a bunch of stuff for mom to make mayo or dressing with.  Its one of the beautiful things about growing your own herbs. 


In a blender or food processor, place the avocados (2 if you want it thick like mayo and 1 if you want it more like a thick green dressing) vinegar, salt and herbs.  Start the machine and slowly drizzle in the oil until you have incorporated it all.  Sometimes it gets so thick, I  have to stop the machine and scrape it down.  Its ready to use!
