Spicy Avocado “Mayonnaise”

European sailors in the 1700s called this “midshipman's butter” because they liked to spread it on hardtack biscuits.  It's a great vegan substitute for mayonnaise because it has no eggs in it, and you can also use it as a sandwich spread, a condiment for grilled meats, or as a dip for veggies or chips. From the article Avocado Madness!
