Guacamole - VIDEO

When it comes to eating out, Mexican is my all time favorite food to go out for.

If I had to pick a last meal it would be Margaritas with chips, salsa, and guacamole washed down with some chicken tacos! Yum...just thinking about it makes me happy!

I love making Guacamole when friends come over because it's a fun food! Everyone loves it and it's always the first thing to go so I make it all the time.

That was easy! I've never tried guacamole before - but I love avocados - so I think I'll make the recipe and give it a try.

Dani :

Sara - I'm so glad you enjoy the recipes!
you may know scallions by a different name...they are also called spring onions or green onions. They are young onions with a white base and a long green stalk. Scallions are much milder than onions.
Hope that helps!
