Today I have for you all a yummy easy Mexican dip ” Guacamole Recipe ” that tastes great with nachos , tortillas ,wraps , sandwich , etc . Made from avocado .. Guacamole is very healthy when compared to many cheesy calorie laden dips . The otherwise bland tasting avocado tastes great when converted to guacamole .
It’s sad that in India avocado is rarely used in any dishes .. may be because of the cost of the fruit or availability or because of lack of knowledge . But actually avocado is very very healthy and has all the good fats essential for body . Good news is slowly people are becoming aware of it and trying to incorporate it in salads / smoothies / milkshake / paratha / sandwich etc .
Buying and using an avocado is tricky most of the times for a beginner . We have always seen avocado pictures as green one . But actually the avocados when green are not ripe and not ready to use . They taste bitter . A perfect ready to use ripe avocado will be dark greenish / brownish /blackish in color , soft to touch , makes a dent when pressed gently and not so pretty to see actually 🙂 !! So if you have picked up a green avocado .. don’t worry .. just put in a paper bag and let it sit on counter top for few days .. eventually they will ripen and be ready to use !! To make a perfect guacamole always use a ripe avocado only . So once you have perfect avocado .. making guacamole hardly takes 10 min.So are you ready to jot down the guacamole recipe with step by step pics .. here you go …
