It’s Victoria Day long weekend here and many people are celebrating with their friends and families by having picnics, barbeques, and fun in the sun (hopefully!). For today’s post I’ve decided to revisit Mexico and give you a recipe for guacamole. Whether or not you’re partaking in the festivities, this delightful Mexican dip is perfect for a late-spring snack with tortilla chips, used as a topping on any grilled meat or fish, or stuffed inside a spicy burrito.
