The kid-friendly Guacamole Recipe

You may wonder what is this avocado-based dip, first created by the Aztecs in Mexico, doing in our site?

It is because all the Guacamole ingredients are often used in the Mediterranean cuisine and secondly, because it is a perfect way to get your kids eat the incredibly nutritious avocados. This recipe works hopelessly well with my "picky eating" daughter. She likes it spread on toasted wholegrain bread.

There is certainly a Mediterranean summer version of Guacamole. As soon as I try it, and test it, I will let you know.

Tips

• Make sure that the avocado is ripe and soft, but not black.

• I do not recommend using pepper or more than a 1/2 glove garlic. Remember that the "guacamole party" is not just for you and your husband/wife.
