Avocado Burger Sauce

This simple recipe makes use of my Veggie Sauce Base  and creates a sauce that will completely remind you of what it was like to eat (MD's) fast food burgers with those little reconstituted onions. Approximately 35 calories per ounce In a food chopper, blend all ingredients: 1 Small Avocado (approximately 5 ounces) 1/3 Recipe Veggie Sauce Base 2 TBS Liquid Yellow Mustard 1-2 tsp. Smoked Paprika (optional) 1/2 tsp. Salt I use this on precooked pork, turkey, hardboiled eggs, baked potatoes, tuna, crackers, and toast.  All I can say is, if you like the flavor of (MD's) fast food burgers, you'll like this. ©Susan Marie May

Veggie Sauce Base (Fast Food Burger Taste)

As I was searching for ways to use avocados, I decided to attempt to come up with something that tasted like mayonnaise.  I knew mayo was sweet and sour, but I didn't want to add granulated sugar, so I chanced it and decided on the bread and butter pickles I had in the refrigerator.  While I was in there, I decided to grab olives and pepperoncinis.   The next time I made this, I used dill pickles with no ill effect and less calories, so that's what the recipe lists below. This recipe makes enough for 3 avocados, so I mix up the recipe and reserve two parts to use later. Approximately 76 calories per 1/3 recipe In a food chopper, chop up 2 Bell Peppers (any color available) 1 Medium Onion 20 Manzanilla Stuffed Olives 6 Pepperoncini Peppers 3 oz. Dill Pickles Use in other recipes such as avocado burger sauce (link coming), or enjoy with a spoon! ©Susan Marie May
