As many guacamole fans head outside to enjoy the sunshine, the Wholly Guacamole brand offers countless creative uses for guacamole that go beyond the chip. While many consumers like eating guacamole with Mexican food and chips, devout fans and savvy avocado consumers know the green goodness extends far beyond the dip table, especially for those sunny outdoor celebrations from Memorial Day through Labor Day. In fact, according to the Wholly Guacamole brand annual survey, 34 percent of consumers like eating guacamole on hamburgers and 37 percent of consumers like eating it on a salad. If you think guacamole is just for chips – a favorite for 87 percent of consumers – think again!

True guacamole lovers use their favorite ingredient in a variety of other ways:

Sixty-eight percent of consumers like eating guacamole with Mexican food
Forty-Seven percent of consumers like eating guacamole with fresh veggies
Forty-five percent of consumers like eating guacamole on a sandwich

Wholly Guacamole dips served cold make a great addition to outdoor grilling, barbeques and picnics. Like homemade guacamole, hand-scooped Wholly Guacamole products are made with all natural, gluten free and dairy free ingredients, and they are full of monounsaturated fats. Big on flavor and nutrition, they are a great replacement for mayonnaise or ranch.
