An Easy Guacamole Recipe Comes From Fresh Ingredients

It's Avacado Dip To You Gringos

If you are looking for an Easy Guacamole Recipe, there are a couple of really good ones below. But first a little guacamole backround.

Guacamole, oravacado dip to some, is a mixture of fresh vegetables like tomatoes, onions, and a delicious fruit that is often mistaken for a vegetable...the avocado.

The Aztecs of Mexico were the first to eat guacamole, but their version was basically just mashed avocados. They called it ahuacamolli, and it later became guacamole.

The Spaniards later added some European ingredients like tomatoes, onions, peppers, cilantro, and lime juice to where it is close to the version we enjoy today.
