While most people enjoy guacamole as a dip with their favorite chip, the Wholly Guacamole® brand annual survey shows that more consumers are thinking about guacamole beyond the chip. This year, 46 percent of consumers reported eating guacamole as a dip with veggies, 42 percent said they eat guacamole as a spread with sandwiches, 32 percent use it on a salad and 31 percent said they use guacamole on their hamburgers.
"As guacamole is already such a popular snack food, we're thrilled that consumers are being inventive by incorporating guacamole into everyday meals and nontraditional recipes," said Tracey Altman, vice president of marketing at Fresherized Foods. "National Guacamole Day is a great opportunity to try out guacamole in a new way. For example, you can replace condiments such as mayonnaise and ranch dressing with guacamole, adding a little kick to your favorite recipes. We look forward to seeing how you're using guacamole today on Facebook and Twitter."
