Guacamole
Guacamole is an avocado-based dip which was first developed in Mexico, and has become an international staple.
Guacamole has a personal significance to me, as it reminds me of summer nights with my family sitting around the pool or at the beach. We like to have it with tacos, nachos or with corn chips and a margarita!
