Holy Guacamole!

Guacamole! Have it as a snack with tortilla chips, use it as a condiment, or incorporate it into your cooking. Guacamole is one those rare foods that tastes amazing, and is actually pretty good for you too. Avocados, guacamole's main ingredient, decreases LDL (bad cholesterol) and increases HDL (good cholesterol) levels. Avocados also have 60% more potassium than bananas and are rich in B vitamins, as well as vitamin E and vitamin K. Plus avocados have the highest fiber content of any fruit - including 75% insoluble and 25% soluble fiber. And if you don't care about the health benefits, guacamole is always a big hit at parties. The next time you are hosting or going to a party, or just want to turn a dreary afternoon into a fiesta for your taste buds, grab some guacamole. Either get some from your favorite Mexican restaurant or try making your own. Below is one of my favorite guacamole recipes.
