This guacamole embodies summer with the fresh flavors of sweet onion, roasted corn, garlic and cherry tomatoes. Knock off some of the prep time by grilling your garlic and corn in advance.

And if you can’t snag the leftovers, maybe they’d be willing to share some of their best recipes like our friends on Instagram @thenaturalnurturer and @pattkla have. They created this beautiful smoked-salmon salad and vegan dessert, respectively.

We’re proud that our avocados grow right here in California, we’re proud to be Americans and last but not least, we’re proud of our ability to share the things we love with you (like these delicious summer recipes). If you make a Fourth of July dish you’re proud of, share it with us in the comments!

Happy Fourth of July.
