Guacamole

Recipe Description

Guacamole is an avocado-based sauce that can be eaten as it is, but also as a garnish for appetizers, salad dressing, or steak sauce. It is easily prepared from a few fresh ingredients. See the simple guacamole recipe.

The name Guacamole comes from an Aztec dialect via Nahuatl “āhuacamolli” which literally translates to “avocado sauce”.

Due to the fact that avocado contains polyphenol oxidase, the exposure to oxygen in the air causes an enzymatic reaction that is turning the sauce’s color to brown. In order to keep the dip’s green color, there are several methods that are used to prevent this effect, such as storing the guacamole in an air-tight container or wrapping tightly in plastic to limit the surface area exposed to the air.

National Guacamole Day is celebrated on the same day as Mexican Independence Day, which is September 16 every year.
