I was making a Thai-themed lunch for some friends, and but had decided to make guacamole as an appy. Being a Mexican dip, it bothered me a little that it didn’t fit the lunch theme. It then dawned on me, why does guacamole have to be made with Mexican flavours? Couldn’t Thai green curry work with avocado? You can guess how this story ends based on the existence of this fusion keto-friendly Thai green curry guacamole recipe. :)
