Creamy avocados, mixed with fresh ingredients like garlic and citrus: Guacamole is irresistible! I grew up with a very traditional Mexican guacamole, but I love to play with my foods and fuse two different cultures. If I had to favor one cuisine besides Mexican food, it would most definitely be Greek. I love the flavors of the garlic, lemon, olives and oregano present in a lot of the dishes. MORE + LESS -
