We all know that guacamole is a delicious dip for tortilla chips, or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dish. But, did you know that the main ingredient, avocadoes, are also a great source of potassium and the healthy fats that you need for proper nutrition? In addition to this, guacamole is best made with the avocadoes that are slightly overripe, often the ones marked down at the grocery store and it is simple to make. This recipe for homemade guacamole is much tastier and better textured than the ready-made containers.
