Avocado is a delicious and creamy addition to most sandwich ingredients. It goes great with lunchmeat, most kinds of cheese, eggs, plain toast, and most other veggies. It’s also high in healthy fats which makes it nice and filling, and it’s got nutrients to boot. That makes it a good alternative to condiments such as mayo, which has a lot of unhealthy fat, and ketchup, which has tons of sugar. But getting it to a perfect spreadable consistency and making it last can take a few steps. Here’s how to turn avocado into guacamole.

In addition to a ripe avocado, there are a few ingredients you’ll need and a few you can swap out.

What You’ll Need

  • Salt and lemon juice
  • Plenty of garlic, minced
  • Olive oil
  • Mayonnaise
  • Smoked paprika
  • Lime juice

You’ll start by cutting and mashing your avocado to your desired consistency. Then add a few dashes of salt and a teaspoon of lemon juice (or to taste) and mix it all in. These will bring out the flavor of the avocado, and the lemon juice will help preserve it if you have any leftover.

Now add your other ingredients, which will affect the taste and texture. If you want some bite, add lots of garlic. If you’d like a more guacamole-esque taste, add a dash of lime juice or swap the lemon juice for lime, and a dash of smoked paprika.

To make it creamier, use a spoonful of mayonnaise or olive to make it richer and more spreadable. If you’d like your spread very smooth or simply don’t want to mash, you can also blend up all your ingredients in a food processor.

Mayo is such an important part of many types of cooking. Whether you’re making dips, dressing, salads, or more, mayo is essential.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup of soy milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
  • 3/4 cup of olive oil

Mustard is essential, especially during the summer. Whether you love to spread it on sandwiches, pour it over hot dogs or slather it onto hamburgers, mustard is a quintessential part of summer.

If you really want to impress your friends, make your own at home! It’s actually really simple, vegan, gluten-free, and totally delicious.

Ingredients

For homemade mustard, you obviously will be needing mustard seeds! A lot of people don’t know that mustard comes from a seed, which makes it one of the healthier condiments.

This mustard requires:
6 tablespoons of brown mustard seeds
5 tablespoons of yellow mustard seeds
2 tablespoons of kosher salt
1 tablespoon of yellow mustard powder
1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup of white verjus or white wine vinegar
5 tablespoons of the juice from sauerkraut

Recipe

Blend together the mustard seeds and then mix it with the mustard powder and salt.

For the wet liquids, you can keep them cold or room temperature for spicier mustard, but for one that’s milder, warm them slightly.

Then, mix them with the mustard mixture, pour it into a jar, and let it sit at room temperature for 1-7 days to thicken and ferment slightly.

Once it’s at the thickness you like, store it in your fridge for a couple of months at least.
