This mild avocado mayo is thick enough for dipping and spreading, but it uses one ripe Hass avocado instead of a cup of oil. The finished texture is smooth, glossy, and pale green. Apple cider vinegar and garlic keep it savory without giving it the sharper bite of the separate tangy avocado dressing.
A five-minute condiment is useful in our kitchen because I cook in the morning before second shift and the older kids can follow clear directions when they help. This version has one measuring cup, one tablespoon, and one blender cup to keep track of. It makes a small batch for the meal in front of you.
What Mild Avocado Mayo Is Like
Version II uses 1/3 cup olive oil and only 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. That makes it milder and thicker than the tangy avocado mayo dressing, which is designed to pour across salad.
This mayo should hold a rounded dollop on a spoon. It stays creamy and spreadable rather than stiff. Fresh garlic is noticeable, black pepper leaves tiny dark flecks, and the avocado flavor remains soft behind the oil and vinegar.
GAPS Stage
This recipe fits Full GAPS. Use cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil raw, additive-free raw apple cider vinegar, a ripe Hass avocado, fresh garlic, mineral salt, and black pepper. The raw egg yolk is optional, so the same measured formula works without egg.
This is not an Introduction Diet condiment. Make it after the Introduction Diet, once your household is on Full GAPS and tolerating its raw ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon raw apple cider vinegar
- 1 raw egg yolk, optional
- 1 clove fresh garlic, crushed
- 1 ripe Hass avocado
- 1/4 teaspoon mineral salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Measure the oil and vinegar separately. Keep the vinegar at one level tablespoon. Adding more changes this mild spread into the tangier salad-dressing direction.
Choose a Hass avocado that gives slightly when pressed but is not watery inside. Its dense flesh is what gives this small batch its mayo-like body, with or without the yolk.
Recommended Equipment
- One-cup glass measuring cup
- One-tablespoon measure
- Ninja BN801 24-ounce single-serve cup and compatible blade assembly
- Ninja BN801 motor base
- Small silicone spatula
- Small glass storage jar
The BN801 single-serve cup suits this amount better than the 72-ounce pitcher. Keep every ingredient below the MAX LIQUID line, secure the compatible blade assembly, and return the cup upright before opening it.
How To Make Mild Avocado Mayo
Measure The Oil And Vinegar
Measure 1/3 cup olive oil in a glass cup. Measure 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar separately. The tablespoon should be level rather than rounded or overflowing.
Load The BN801 Cup
Pour the oil and vinegar into the Ninja BN801 single-serve cup. Add the optional yolk, crushed garlic, avocado flesh, salt, and pepper. Press the avocado into the liquid and keep everything below the MAX LIQUID line.
Blend Until Thick And Smooth
Secure the compatible blade assembly. Invert and lock the cup onto the BN801 motor base. Use short pulses until the avocado begins moving through the liquid, then blend only until the color is even and no avocado pieces remain.
Return the cup upright before removing the blade assembly. The mayo should look glossy with no ring of oil around the edge. Scrape down any streaks, reseal, and pulse again only if needed.
Lift a spoonful. A rounded dollop should hold its shape instead of running off the spoon. Transfer the mayo to a small glass bowl for serving.

Notes
Tried this recipe?
Let us know how it was!The Egg-Free Option
Leave out the raw egg yolk and keep every other measurement the same. Ripe Hass avocado still emulsifies the oil and vinegar into a thick spread.
The egg-free batch should still be glossy and uniform. If oil remains visible, scrape the cup, secure the blade assembly, and pulse again instead of adding another ingredient.
Serving Ideas
Use this mild mayo as a dip for crisp vegetables you tolerate on Full GAPS or as a spread with burgers and cooked meats. Its thicker body stays where you put it instead of running down the plate.
For a salad that needs a looser, sharper coating, use the linked tangy version. Keeping the formulas separate lets you choose the texture you actually need without guessing at extra vinegar or oil.
Storage
This mayo is best made close to serving because fresh avocado darkens after cutting. Put any extra in the smallest glass container that will hold it, cover the surface closely, and refrigerate promptly.
A little darkening at the exposed surface is normal. Stir before serving and check that it still smells fresh, garlicky, and mildly sharp.
Troubleshooting
The Mayo Looks Oily
Return the BN801 cup upright and scrape down the sides. Secure the blade assembly and pulse again until the color is uniform and no oil circles the edge.
The Mayo Is Too Thin
Check the avocado first. Use one ripe Hass avocado with dense flesh and keep the vinegar at exactly 1 tablespoon. Do not turn this into the tangy formula by adding vinegar.
The Garlic Is Too Strong
Use one ordinary clove and crush it before blending so it disperses evenly. Taste the finished mayo before adding anything else.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Is This Different From The Tangy Dressing?
This formula has more oil and less vinegar. It is milder, thicker, and suited to dipping and spreading. The tangy version is looser and built for salad.
Can I Make It Without Egg?
Yes. Omit the yolk and keep the same oil, vinegar, avocado, garlic, salt, and pepper measurements.
Can I Use The Full-Size BN801 Pitcher?
Use the 24-ounce single-serve cup for this small batch. The 72-ounce pitcher spreads the ingredients too widely around the blades.
