I really can’t think of a better way to celebrate this holiday than with some yummy raw guacamole! This tasty treat is not only going to taste amazing, but the avocado in guacamole has some great health benefits as well. Avocado has a high content of essential nutrients such as Vitamins A, B, C and E. This fruit also contains many minerals including potassium, magnesium, iron and phosphorus just to name a few.

Avocado is also a great source of healthy fats such as mono and polyunsaturated fat. So here is a Jillian special recipe to make your Cinco De Mayo healthy, fresh and raw!
