(Guacamole is a dip that originates from Mexico. Or to be more exact – it comes from the Atzec cuisine. The base for every guacamole is avocado. The traditional way to make it is to smash a ripe avocado and add some salt. But now there are many different guacamole recipes that include various other ingredients. The most common ones are onions, tomatoes, garlic, lime juice or lemon juice, pepper, cheese, cumin, spices…etc.)
