14 Ways to Upgrade Your Guacamole

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Tulane chapter.

Guacamole: always worth the extra charge at restaurants, sure to please at a party, and not too bad for you, either. Thanks to the avocados, guac contains healthy fats and is packed with vitamins C and E.

We all love it (see if you’re romantically involved with it here), and these exciting ways to step up your guac game are about to make you love it even more.
