No, this is not just your average guacamole…but it’s just as simple! Surprise your guests (and your taste buds) with this vibrant take on a party classic.
To finish it off, I add diced jalapeño for just a bit of heat, and queso fresco (easily substituted with feta) for some extra salty goodness. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE regular guacamole! But if you’re like me and eat it minimum once a week (or day…shhhh), why not switch it up and try something just as easy and delicious, but slightly more exotic! Have fun serving this and let me know what you and your guests think!
