Howdy folks! 😊
Avocados 🥑 are among my most favorite ‘fruits’ to eat. There’s just something special about them. I’m not sure if its the creamy texture or the non-sweet, earthy taste – but they are both delicious and versatile. 👌🏾
In these parts, Avocados are mostly eaten mashed up with sugar, but on this day, we went the savoury route with Guacamole. 😋
Guacamole is a Mexican dip/salad/spread that is served as a condiment or with chips and other ingredients as a side on its own. This one was served as part of a BBQ spread, to great reviews. 😋👌🏾
