International Guacamole Day (Sept 16) is often overshadowed with the back to school blues. Yes, it is unfortunate, however, this year Rosalinda is reclaiming September as the “Month of Guac.”
Toronto’s favourite vegan restaurant has graciously provided the recipe for its famous guacamole created by Chef Juan Alvarez.
This guacmole recipe’s combination of fresh avocado, tomatoes and jalapeno makes it a mouthwatering favourite that you will enjoy, whether at Rosalinda’s aesthetic dining room or from the comfort of home.
