Avocado Mayonnaise

This is a wonderful alternitive to real mayonnaise. I have been put on a strict diet and this saves the day! Makes a great salad dressing(I add a little honey), spread for sandwiches, or dip. Adapted from Raw and Living Foods. This is popular in Spain, Mexico, Central America and the Southern USA.
