GUACAMOLE
Avocado dip
Guacamole was and still is by far my favorite dip. My mother would always serve it at the beginning of the meal with fresh tortillas or freshly made quesadillas.
Guacamole is so delicate that it should be eaten the moment it is prepared. Throughout my professional career as a chef I have heard many suggestions for keeping guacamole, from leaving the pit in to covering it with plastic film or adding olive oil. In my personal opinion nothing can stop it from going through the process know as Enzymatic browning so follow my recommendation; eat it right away!
By the way. true guacamole has no black pepper or olive oil in it.
