Emergency Guacamole
Here is a useful trick -and it is just in time for those summer gatherings… Whenever I make Guacamole, I add half a package of Lemon/Lime Emergen-C to prevent it from oxidizing. A bowl of that mushy green stuff usually starts turning brown in 15 minutes. It usually takes 4 days for the color start to change using my secret ingredient. Emergen-C is great, I can throw a fun summer party and know that my emerald dip is going to just as green an vibrant at the end of the party as when I first made it. There is also the added benefit of knowing my guests getting in all those healthy vitamins…
Holy Guacamole!!!
