I was recently invited to enjoy a “flight” of new (to me) avocado oil: AVOCARE Extra Virgin Avocado Oil.
I have been an avocado oil fan for years, after first being introduced to it when I completed the Intensive Study Program at The Christina Pirello School of Natural Cooking and Integrative Health Studies four years ago. In addition to holding up to a high smoke point,
I love it as an alternative to extra virgin olive oil in salads and other cold vegetable dishes, as well as in baking. So I jumped on the chance to sample this “flight” of flavors.
I’ve used the garlic in tofu marinades and the chipotle is divine tossed with roughly chopped raw vegetables.
But today I want to show you two delicious things we did with the original and basil flavor: vegan Caesar dressing and basil bread!
Avocado Oil Vegan Caesar Dressing
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 3 – 4 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise, to taste
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 6 cloves garlic Minced, more or less to taste
- 2 teaspoons vegan Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 – 3/4 cup AVOCARE Extra Virgin Avocado Oil, more or less to taste/desired consistency
- 1 – 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup vegan Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons – 1/4 cup capers, to taste
- Salt (optional), to taste
Instructions
Add mayo, dijon mustard, garlic cloves, Worcestershire sauce to a food processor. Begin to blend, and drizzle in avocado oil until desired consistency and volume is reached. Pour dressing into a mixing bowl, add pepper, nutritional yeast and Parmesan cheese. Whisk together before adding capers. Taste before adding salt.
Leftover dressing can be stored in an air-tight mason jar in the refrigerator for a few days.
Avocado Basil Bread
Ingredients (1 loaf)
- 1 2/3 cup water
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup barley flour
- 1/4 cup vital wheat gluten
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons AVOCARE Extra Virgin Avocado Oil with Basil
- 1 teaspoons rapid rise yeast
Instructions
Add all ingredients into a bread machine, in order listed.
Bake on quick cycle (medium crust).
*Baked at 6,200 feet elevation; reduce water by 1/4 cup and increase yeast by 1/2 teaspoon if baking at sea level.
This bread is wonderful for sandwiches. But it’s awfully good as toast, too.
Simply drizzle a little avocado oil with basil over toast, sprinkle with nutritional yeast and garnish with Italian herbs.
I’m a big fan of this oil and the variety of flavors!

I haven’t used avocado oil yet, but it looks like it has a lot of good uses. I can’t make out some of the characteristics of the different oils on your graphic, the resolution doesn’t allow me to enlarge it and still be legible :(. I’d like to know more about it. I’d love to try it out!

I’ve actually never even SEEN avocado oil in the flesh, but have heard that it’s a lil’ miracle in a bottle! I can’t do coconut oil (too high in saturated fat for my bad gallbladder and gastroparesis), so I’m all about trying new oils that could sit well in my stomach!
