Simple Strawberry Guacamole

After many years of internal debate and unnecessary apprehension, I can finally say that I am an avocado lover. My initial reservations about this lovely green fruit were washed away when it was perfectly paired with it’s berry cousin: the strawberry! I owe this to a local Mexican restaurant that prides itself on it’s robust “guacamole” menu.

The menu at this restaurant covers a wide span of flavor profiles from sweet to savory or spicy to mild. This means that there is a type of “guac” for every type of food lover!  As I have eaten my way down the list sampling all the varieties, none compare to the first one I had the fortune of trying: Strawberry Guacamole.

After many attempts to recreate this dish for my own purposes, I’ve finally landed on my own recipe worth sharing. It’s quick and easy, and has become a hit at potlucks, parties or cookouts. The recipe can be found below!
