Guacamole
The simplicity of this guacamole recipe is like the effortless days of summer when no one wants to be bothered by turning on a hot stove to cook. Guacamole is a versatile dish as well complimenting warm weather meals as a side dish with tortilla chips or as a topping on salad, tacos, sandwiches, or even pizza!
