Mexican Flag Dip for Cinco de Mayo
Cinco de Mayo (May 5th), the Mexican holiday the celebrates that country’s victory in the Battle of Puebla–a turning point in the war for Mexican Independence–is one of my favorite holidays. It comes at a time when the Midwest is just emerging from winter and the vibrant colors, flavors, and music of Mexico seem to represent the joy of spring.
I came across this dip recipe this morning and can’t wait to serve it. It’s part decoration, part food, and all fun. (thanks to the people at Wholly Guacamole for sharing the recipe with All Holiday Cafe readers.)
Mexican Flag Dip
One 14 oz package Wholly Guacamole (or make your own recipe)
Fat-free sour cream

Fresh rosemary sprigs
Black beans and olives
