Guacamole is a fun and tasty way to eat avocado, and when you make it fresh you can always adjust flavors to taste. For example, don’t like cilantro? Leave it out and add parsley instead. This is a basic recipe, and you can dress it up with any combination of onions, tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeno according to what you like best.
Featured Ingredients
Avocados deliver at least 10% or more of the daily value of 11 different nutrients per 1/4 cup serving (or 1/2 an avocado)! They are rich in the monounsaturated fat oleic acid, which is considered highly cardioprotective, in addition to being linked with numerous other health benefits.
Whether you love or hate cilantro depends on what version of the OR6A2 gene you have. This is a gene that codes olfactory receptor proteins, enhancing sensitivity to certain chemicals. If you are one of the unlucky ~ 3-21% of people who have a strong negative reaction to cilantro, crushing the leaves may help relieve the issue.
