New Age Guacamole
It’s almost Cinco de Mayo and what better way to commemorate this Mexican annual holiday than with a different take on guacamole.
While it might seem odd to infuse Asian flavors into this traditional dish, it results in one of the most delicious guacs I’ve ever tasted!
By adding the crunch of water chestnuts and sweet white corn, and combining that with scallions and Chinese chili sauce…well, it’s a unique way to make delicious guacamole.
This is my go-to guacamole recipe for parties and gatherings, and it never fails to impress! Try to get the sweetest corn available to really make this appetizer pop!
