Zesty Guacamole

Hey there, guac lovers! Who's ready to dive into a bowl of the most zesty, vibrant guacamole you've ever tasted? Guacamole is like the life of the party, isn't it? It's creamy, it's flavorful, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. But today, we're adding a twist to our beloved guac – a secret ingredient that will make your taste buds dance: oranges!

How to choose and store your avocados

First things first, let's talk avocados. Picking the right one is key – you want them ripe and ready to be mashed into guacamole goodness. My trick? Gently squeeze the avocado; if it yields to gentle pressure, it's perfect. If you have some avocados at home that you aren't ready to use, store them in the fridge- this allows them to last longer!

Health benefits of avocados

Now, onto the health benefits. This guacamole isn't just tasty; it's a powerhouse of nutrients, thanks to our star ingredient, avocado, and a zesty twist from the lemon and oranges. To start, the avocado adds healthy fats and a great amount of potassium. The citrus from the lemon and oranges add vitamin C which helps with many things such as skin health and immunity.

And guess what? This guac comes together in just 10 minutes and is fresh, easy, and oh-so-delicious! The oranges add a unique, sweet tang that complements the creaminess of the avocado and the bright punch of lemon. Trust me, this guacamole is going to be your new favorite!
