STORY BEHIND THE DISH
I love avocados therefore guacamole is a must with any Mexican dish. I have tried several ingredients when making fresh guacamole & these basics are easy & delicious!
MODIFICATIONS/Whole30
This recipe is Whole30 & Paleo approved. If you don't have fresh cilantro & garlic on hand I always suggest keeping the Trader Joe's frozen herbs, check out Products I Love, in the freezer, or you can use garlic powder. You can also use red onions or onion powder & replace the red pepper flakes with finely diced jalapeno.
