Guacamole

Guacamole is an avocado-based dip, spread, or salad. For the first time, it was developed in Mexico. The name comes from an Aztec dialect āhuaca+molli, which literally translates to “avocado sauce”.

The dish has nutritional value as it contains several B vitamins, vitamin K, vitamin E, and potassium in significant amounts, it also provides dietary fiber as well. Avocados are a source of saturated fat, monounsaturated fat, and phytosterols, such as beta-sitosterol. They also contain carotenoids, like beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, and lutein.
