This is an easy-to-prepare and a very healthy Guacamole recipe you can ever make.  You don’t need any fillers or artificial flavors to make it taste great. Just fresh and high-quality ingredients should do the trick.

Guacamole is a gift from Mexico to the world.

It is a flavourful dip that can be paired with so many finger foods like sourdough bread, crackers, chips, sandwiches, wholesome salads, soup sticks and many more.

 

 

 

Avocado is the main ingredient used in preparing this extremely healthy and trend setting yet super easy Mexican recipe called Guacamole. 

 

 

The Avocado’s neutral taste and smooth silk texture are key to creating this lip-smacking spread.  As per your liking, you could keep it chunky with tiny bits of Avocado for the bite or make a thinner texture which can be easily spread on salads and used as a dip.

 

The key is to use the right and high quality ingredients.

How to find the right Avocado ?

Avocados can be a tricky purchase, but you need to ensure that you cut it at the right stage.  It should not be too firm or too mushy when you press it.  Perfectly ripened Avocado is the one which feels slightly soft to touch and has darkened on the skin also the stem when you break it should be greenish on the inside and not too brown, else you will find that after cutting the flesh of the Avocado may have brown spots and we definitely don’t want to use that kind of Avocado.  It will ruin the flavour of the Guacamole.
