*I'm absolutely certain that you didn't need this picture. I was just so happy that I managed to get a perfectly ripe avocado! *
Step 1 - Scoop the avocado flesh from the avocado and place in a food processor along with the garlic, lemon juice and mustard. Pulse for a few seconds until smooth and garlic is finely chopped. Add the vegetable oil in two lots - you don't have to pour this in a thin stream as you do with egg mayonnaise. Process until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Store in an airtight jar in the fridge. This will keep for up to a week (if it lasts that long, it's delicious!).
