Eat like a Guac Star! 5 Celebrity Guacamole Recipes for National Guacamole Day
Today is National Guacamole Day and we can't think of a single other dedicated food holiday that we enjoy more. Guacamole is the ultimate party maker in a bowl. People will flock to and gather 'round the guac with no questions asked. And you should not only let them, but join them. It's a heart-healthy food that's jam-packed with protein, fiber, vitamin C, and other essential nutrients.
