Summertime is slowly showing itself with temperatures creeping to the upper 70s and low 80s. I see you swimsuit weather! With summer comes more occasions to be outdoors and enjoy those foods that remind you of summer. Margaritas and Guac aren’t only for Cinco de Mayo!
Because the main ingredient in Guacamole is Avocados, not only is a tasty addition to a meal that we can’t get enough of, but it is also extremely healthy! Avocados are a great source of those healthy fats that your body needs. No more having to pay the extra 3 dollars at Chipotle, you can make your own! What’s better is you can often find them on sale at your local farmers market, fruit stand, or neighborhood supermarket. Sometimes you can get 4 avocados for $2.00 *SMILE*
Necessary ingredients for a basic guacamole recipe are avocados, lime, cayenne pepper, red onion, garlic, cilantro and salt.
Once you have your base avocado recipe down, you may want to take it a step further by adding some addition and spice. They say diversity is the spice of life, so why not add some sparkle to this treat.
