I absolutely love guacamole so when I saw Guasacaca it caught my attention. Guasacaca is a Venezuelan twist on the very popular food guacamole that it is made mainly with avacados, garlic, and vinegar. This versatile combination can be served with a variety of foods such as arepas, chips, and various meats. Guasacaca is made by combining all of the desired ingredients into a blender then letting the mixture sit to allow the flavors to combine and set. As with many foods around the world, there are many different recipes and adaptations that have been made to guasacaca. If it is to be eaten with meat and act like a sauce, the guasacaca should be made more thin. If you would like to eat it as a dipping sauce for arepas or bread then it should be made to have a thicker consistency. Guasacaca is commonly served at room temperature. Below is the list of ingredients and the cooking method of common Guasacaca.
