Guac Season

Cinco de Mayo is around the corner and that means, it’s officially “guac” season. While it’s convenient to buy guacamole at your nearest grocery store, the pre-made versions typically have added ingredients like sugar that aren’t very healthy (one exception is Whole Foods guacamole).

Homemade guacamole is easy, fresh, less expensive and healthier. Traditional guac has avocados, onion, tomato, jalapeno, cilantro, lime and salt. If you want to try something unique, try Mango Guacamole. If you’re more traditional, there’s nothing wrong with the classic recipe. Guac makes for a great snack, side dish, or topping on chicken and burgers.
