Throughout the course of this past year, avocados have easily become one of my favorite foods. With an abundance of nutrients such as phytochemicals, healthy fats, fiber, potassium, vitamin E, folic acid and B vitamins, it is no mystery that avocados are packed with nutrition. As much as I love using them more creatively, such as in creamy pasta sauces and smoothies, classic guacamole is always necessary to have in the mix! With Cinco de Mayo fast approaching, there is no better time to master a yummy guac recipe!I love serving this recipe alongside homemade tortilla chips and raw veggies, spread onto sandwiches and veggie burgers, and dolloped on top of vibrant salads. With such delicious flavors and versatility, the possibilities are endless!
