Tantalizing in Color. Ultra-Creamy in Consistency…

Guacamole

If I had to choose a fruit I could never give up, it would be the Aztec staple, ahuacatl, which we know better as the avocado. Its permanency as a favorite is due to one reason alone: Guacamole.

Tantalizing in color, ultra-creamy in consistency, guacamole is a guilt-free-ish salad dressing, dip, side, and sauce that I used to enjoy at El Pollito Mexicano in Brooklyn, and Viktor’s Café on West 52nd Street. When I moved out of the Big Apple, I was hard pressed for some good guacamole until finding out how easy it is to make.
