What a glorious way to celebrate avocado’s perks: monounsaturated fats, protein, potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamins B6, C, and K. Its creamy goodness is enhanced by nutrient-packed garlic, onions, pepper and spices, and a little lime for sweetness. If you are not serving the guacamole immediately, you can leave the avocado pit in the dip to keep it staying greener longer.
