How to make Delicious, and healthy Guacamole in minutes?

If you are wondering, what is Guacamole? Guacamole is a simple and quick Avocado dip that goes well with pretty much everything like toast, breads and even veggie sticks.

History of Guacamole:

Avocados reached Mexico around the 1500s. The Aztecs who were the natives there turned this healthy fruit into Guacamole and originally, Guacamole was made with only avocado and sea salt.

Traditional Version with sea salt

It got its present-day name from the Nahuatl word-āhuacamolli which translates to “avocado sauce”. The Aztecs believed it to be a natural aphrodisiac thus gaining more importance.

Gradually more people became aware of this dish and it became a part of daily foods for many.

But do you know?

Some of the first recipes for this dip/spread were published in the 1400s.
