Guacamole! Did you know that over 2 billion pounds of avocados are consumed each year in the U.S.? (Google it.) Thats over 7 pounds per person. Im guessing that most of those avocados go into what has become Americas favorite dip: guacamole.
Guacamole is an avocado-based dip or spread that originated in Mexico. It’s typically made with mashed avocado and lime juice, then seasoned with salt and cilantro.
