As a substitute for mayo
Avocados are a great alternative to mayonnaise in recipes that call for it as a binder ingredient. When compared to mayo, avocado has around half the calories: two tablespoons of avocado have 50 calories while mayonnaise has 100 calories. Avocado is cholesterol-free and contains half the fat (4.5g to 9g) per serving. Just a simple swap can completely transform the healthfulness of the recipe!
