Strawberry Guacamole

/in /by

Strawberry guacamole is a very fresh-tasting guacamole. I’m sure if I had used habaneros instead of jalapenos it would have been spicier, but the gentle heat served its purpose. And yet, despite its mild nature, the flavor was very bright, heavy on the lime and cilantro (just the way I like it), with hints of sweetness from the berries.
