Description

Introduction & History

Guacamole traces its roots to the Aztecs in Mexico, where “ahuacamolli” (avocado sauce) was first made as early as the 16th century. Originally a simple blend of mashed avocados, tomatoes, and salt, it has evolved into a global staple, celebrated for its creamy texture and healthy fats. Today, it’s a cornerstone of Mexican cuisine, often paired with tacos, nachos, or as a nutritious snack.

Dips like Guacamole are nutritious, flavorful additions to meals or snacks. Packed with healthy fats, protein, and fiber, they pair perfectly with veggies, whole-grain crackers, or lean proteins. Below are detailed recipes with macronutrient breakdowns per serving.
