I LOVE this recipe because it switches up regular guacamole with more exotic Asian flavors. Plus, it is a visually beautiful dish to get things started. Your palate and body will agree. Nutrient-dense food like this is one of the healthiest ways to eat. Nutrient density is the measure of nutrients a food contains in comparison to the number of calories. Avocados contain nearly 20 essential vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients and contribute good fat to the diet. They are free of trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium. And that’s not all for this starter dish, y’all…we got sesame!
