Looking for a healthy, flavorful condiment to complement your ketogenic lifestyle? This Keto Avocado Mayonnaise recipe is not only easy to make but also incredibly delicious and nutrient-dense. With just 10 minutes of prep time and wholesome ingredients, you’ll never go back to store-bought mayo again.
Why Choose Avocado Mayonnaise on Keto?
Avocados are a powerhouse ingredient in low-carb diets. They are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, potassium, and several key vitamins including vitamin K, E, and B6. According to the USDA, one avocado contains over 13 grams of monounsaturated fats and only about 2 grams of net carbs—perfect for keto macros.
Traditional mayonnaise often contains seed oils and added sugars that can sabotage ketosis. This keto avocado mayo uses clean, whole-food ingredients and healthy fats from olive oil and avocado, making it ideal for those on a high-fat, low-carb diet.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ jalapeño, chopped (optional for heat)
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- ½ lemon, juiced
- 6-10 sprigs of fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a blender or food processor.
- Add olive oil, jalapeño, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, and a pinch of salt.
- Blend on high until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice as desired.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Why This Recipe Works for Keto
The ketogenic diet emphasizes fat as a primary fuel source, and condiments like this homemade avocado mayo make it easy and flavorful to meet your daily fat intake goals. Avocado’s fiber also helps support digestion and healthy cholesterol levels.
Unlike commercial spreads that use refined vegetable oils (which are inflammatory), this recipe keeps it clean with extra virgin olive oil and whole food ingredients. It's perfect for those doing clean keto or simply aiming to eat fewer processed foods.
