Today is National Guacamole Day (yes, as discussed previously, there really is a holiday for everything). I love guac, so any excuse to mix up a batch works for me. It's super easy to make this dip (don't buy the kind in a jar or can -- *shudder*) and everyone loves it. Plus, it's versatile -- you can serve it with Mexican foods like tacos and enchiladas; it goes great with roast pork or fish; or you can sandwich it between tortillas for a guacamole quesadilla.

Here's my favorite, foolproof recipe for delicious guacamole.
