Guacamole (Spanish: [wakaˈmole]; or[ɡwakaˈmole] ( listen); can informally be referred to as "guac" in North America [1]) is an avocado-based dip or salad first created by the Aztecs in what is now Mexico.[2] In addition to its use in modern Mexican cuisine, it has also become part of American cuisine as a dip, condiment and salad ingredient.[3][4]
