Whenever I take this dip to a barbecue or serve it up at a party, it doesn’t last long at all! It’s just so more-ish that all ages can’t help dipping over and over. It has just enough spice to add flavour, and the beans and avocado make it a healthier dip than a lot of others. Give it a go!

Guacamole is a must whenever you’re serving Mexican food, from tacos to nachos and burritos. It’s also just fabulous on it’s own. Dip a corn chip into it and pop it in your mouth, then go back for another … and another …
