Avocados are very popular in Macedonia in the last several years, of course they are imported and can't grow here and that is why they are pretty expensive for our standard. But the fact that avocados are very healthy fruit, it is suggested to include them in your diet at least once a week.
Guacamole is perhaps the greatest culinary masterpiece of Mexican cuisine. It is a spread of mashed avocado, to which lemon and finely chopped tomatoes, garlic and peppers are often added. Due to the high amount of omega 3 fatty acids, B vitamins, as well as vitamins E and K, guacamole is really healthy, but also tasty. I've made some changes to the basic recipe and adapted it to my taste. I removed the tomato and instead, put it aside.
The given amount is for1-2 persons, it was enough for me and my son.
