Avocado Aioli

This creamy avocado aioli makes a delicious creamy dip or sauce to serve with a variety of meals. It mixes up in less than five minutes in one bowl with only a fork or spoon. The flavor is slightly spicy and tangy from the lemon juice making it a great addition to flavor up your meals.

If you are looking for something similar to a Ranch Dip but with a little more pizzazz, then this avocado aioli recipe is exactly what you need. It's creamy thanks to sour cream and mayonnaise but gets a little kick from the addition of avocados, jalapeno, and lemon juice.

This was inspired by my other aioli recipe on Kitchen Divas, and pairs well with this amazing asparagus fries recipe.

Instructions

An easy two-step recipe that takes only five minutes to make!

Step 1: Mash the Avocados

In a medium bowl, use a fork to mash the avocado up.

Step 2: Mix in the Ingredients

Add the remaining ingredients and gently fold into the avocado. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Hint: Avocado tends to brown easily and adding lemon slows down this process. If storing the sauce for more time, press a piece of plastic over the top right up against the sauce in the storage container and then add a lid. This helps to keep more air away from the sauce.

Storage

Tips

Here are my top tips for making sure your creamy avocado sauce comes out with great results!

• Be sure to choose ripe avocados. They should be soft to the touch but without any brown spots around the stem area or the sides.
• For best flavor, eat avocado aioli in 1-2 days. It will last longer but the color does tend to start to turn as it sits for a longer period of time.
• Make ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes prior to serving so the flavors meld together.
