September 16, 2012 - National Guacamole Day!

Celebrate National Guacamole Day with the Avocado Diva

Yes, there truly is a day for each and every thing! 

Today (Sunday) is "National Guacamole Day". 

If you have never made guacamole - it's really pretty easy and very tasty and also quite good for you! It's a lower calorie dip than your average onion or ranch dip because avocados have way less fat than mayonaise or sour cream. (Plus - it's the "good" kind of fat.)

That said - here is the simpliest recipe:

2 ripe avocados - smash them (with the skin off, and no pits)
sprinkle of lime or lemon juice
sprinkle of salt
