I love avocados and guacamole. I’ve never used garlic salt when making guac but I might have to give it a try.

I think avocados should have their own food group. I would eat them every day if they weren’t so expensive!

  They are SO good for you! I buy the packs at our local grocery store or Trader Joe’s. $4 for 4 avocados isn’t too bad especially when you eat them as much as I do!
