Guacamole
Guacamole is another perfect party food. Easy to make and full of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, it’s a sure crowd pleaser. Here’s a recipe developed by one of the nation’s best-known French chefs, Laurent Tourondel of New York City’s BLT Market. It is served with one of the best corn chips we’ve ever tasted—from Food Should Taste Good. (Read our full review of Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week, gluten-free and certified kosher.)
For a perfect warm-weather treat, pair it with a sweet and refreshing watermelon martini. But watermelon lovers, take note: Buy watermelon juice and enjoy this heavenly beverage (and cocktail) year-round.
Yields 1 quart. Recipes from Chef Laurent Tourondel of New York City’s BLT Market.
