\"guacamole_healthy_recipe_cinco_de_mayo\"<\/a>With your Cinco de Mayo fiesta de las gringas just days away, it’s safe to say you need be shopping for something to match your maracas. Yet before you run off to find the impossible, a flattering vintage oaxacan dress with matching embroidered rhinestone flip flops, you’ve got to plan your menu. Comida is a must. No comida, no fiesta. That said, embrace the low key-ness of Cinco de Mayo. We’re not shooting for Thanksgiving dinner here, Chica! You don’t have to pull out the Easter lambchop (okay, I’ve never made an Easter Lamb chop…but let’s just pretend for post that I’m like you & Martha and have.) No, we don’t have to make our traditional Easter lamb chop for this holiday (thanks, for playing along). Cinco de Mayo is easy breezy. It embraces some of the most fun aspects of Mexican culture which include family, good friends, great food, and low stress<\/strong>. The focus is on togetherness, not perfection. My suggestion is to create a delicious and stress-free celebration, by ordering take out from your favorite authentic Mexican restaurant and then adding homemade side dishes to make it your own. <\/p>\n

Here are three of my favorite Gringa Dips that are as easy as uno, dos, tres. I couldn’t decide which one to give you because they are all so easy and good. So start livin’ la vida loca and try all three!<\/p>\n
