Guacamole is an avocado-based dip that has its roots in Aztec culture. After having guacamole prepared table side in a Mexican restaurant, I became a fan. Below you will find my guacamole recipe (the more cilantro, the better). If you love cilantro as much as I do and want to learn how to grow cilantro, check out my blog post how to grow cilantro in your home garden.
