Living in south Texas, homemade guacamole has been a staple in my home since I was a child. I have vivid memories of my dad making big batches of guacamole when they would host parties. I remember that he would leave the avocado shells and giant seeds on the counter while he would focus on mashing them all up and mixing in all the other flavorful goodies into the perfect tasting guacamole.
Fast forward to today and there are now messes of avocado shells and seeds on my kitchen counters as I mix up bowl after bowl for my boys. Lately, I’ve been adding a couple drops of lemon vitality essential oil and lime vitality essential oil to each batch and the end result makes me want to shout “OLÉ!” over and over and over.
The powerful citrus flavor from both the lemon and the lime essential oils perfectly complement the smooth avocado, the tangy crunch from the red onion and the zest from the cilantro.
Now mix up a batch for yourself, grab a chip, take a dip and shout OLÉ! yourself!
