Who doesn’t love avocados? You’ve seen options for adding guacamole to your order for an additional charge, and isn’t it worth every cent? We’d say so. Avocados have amazing health benefits and should be included in your diet if they are not already high on your priority list when choosing a dish. Not only are they full of beneficial vitamins and minerals, but also highly versatile in the foods they pair well with.
