Not all guacamole is the same. We all know the difference between guacamole from Chipotle, guacamole from Moes and guacamole from Qdoba, because there are many versions of this adored dip. There are two main kinds of guacamole that most people know about, and those are creamy guacamole and rustic guacamole. Creamy guacamole is a crowd favorite, but not everybody prefers it. This is the kind of guacamole you would find in the grocery store from brands like Wholly Guacamole and Sabra. However, rustic guacamole holds true to the nutritional benefits that can be gained from eating avocado. Rustic guacamole does not include sour cream or Greek yogurt, it stays true to itself with a mixture of colorful vegetables. So, which kind of guacamole do you like?

1 diced jalapeño pepper (seeded)
