This zesty aioli is oil free, and arguably sugar free (optionally salt free), and can be used in place of mayonnaise, vegannaise, or even cooking oil. The avocado supplies a healthy fat for sautéing, or roasting, and adjusting the broth amounts can give you a wetter consistency for pan-fry or a thicker consistency for spreading on sandwiches. Bonus, the blackstrap molasses gives you a ton of natural vitamins and minerals, the apple cider vinegar the probiotics you need for improved digestions, the nutritional yeast is fortified with B12, and the turmeric supplies you with a daily anti-inflammatory boost!
