Review/Suggestions:
- True to form, I read the directions and had all the ingredients out (or so I thought). So next time I'll put the onion and salt in and see how it changes the flavor. : )
- I didn't do the whole "drain zucchini in a sieve and press lightly." After cooking, there was absolutely no liquid.
- Even still, I was pleasantly surprised. You would never guess there's zucchini in this guac.
