Dating back to the Aztec Empire of the 1500s, avocados have a fierce presence in history. It’s no wonder when you consider the several health benefits this palm-sized fruit provides. However, when it comes to restaurants in Merrimack, Don Ramon is the only Mexican restaurant you need for the freshest, most delicious guacamole in the area.
Whether you love avocados for the health benefits or can’t get enough of the creamy goodness of guacamole, get excited. Why? Well, because National Guacamole Day is around the corner, of course!
Let’s talk about the good stuff.
Most people know that avocados are loaded with ‘good fat.’ But, did you know that a single fruit contains 15 grams of good fat and 2 grams of protein? If that wasn’t enough, a single avocado also provides loads of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. It truly is a superfood.
Bring on the guac.
While the avocado in and of itself is a force to be reckoned with, guacamole takes things to the next level. While some of the earliest combinations included avocado, tomato, and chilis, today’s guacamole generally takes a standard role. Of course, there is always room for experimenting with your favorite ingredients!
Here is a quick and easy at-home recipe to try when you can’t make it to your favorite restaurant in Merrimack, Don Ramon.
Ingredients:
- Avocado
- Chopped onion and cilantro
- Diced tomato
- Diced jalapeno for those who like a kick
- Lime juice, garlic, and a dash of salt
Start by mashing your avocados. There is no right or wrong with the consistency; it all lies with your preference. Mix in the lime juice and salt. Continue mixing and add the onion, cilantro, tomatoes, and garlic. Allow your guac to chill for at least one hour, combining the flavors before serving with your favorite chip.
