Guasacaca, or Venezulean avocado sauce, is a flavorful, recent and scrumptious sauce (or dip!) that each residence cook dinner ought to know how you can make IMO. In the event you’ve by no means had guasacaca earlier than it’s kind of a cross between guacamole and chimichurri sauce.
I really like this selfmade guasacaca alongside appetizers like tequeños or cachapas. Nevertheless it’s additionally the proper praise to grilled meat (like carne asada) or to go on nachos or tacos.

Notes
