Ingredients Needed
Here we will talk about the ingredients that are needed for this delightful spicy pineapple guacamole recipe. Along with what each ingredient does and what you can use as a replacement.
- Avocados are what gives this dip recipe its creamy base. It also provides a rich texture and subtle flavor that pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the pineapple.
- Fresh Lime Juice adds an acidity that helps balance and enhance the overall flavor. It also acts as a natural preservative. I recommend using fresh lime juice but you can use the real lime juice in a bottle, you buy at the grocery store.
- Fresh Cilantro brings a burst of fresh herb flavor. You can change the cilantro out for fresh parsley or use either dried cilantro or dried parsley.
- Red Onion adds a sharp pungent flavor to the pineapple guacamole which complements the sweetness of the pineapple. It also adds a bit of crunch to this creamy dip. White onion, sweet onion, or yellow onion would be a great alternative.
- Tomato adds a juicy yet slightly acidic component to the pineapple guacamole. Not a tomato fan you can leave it out or replace with diced red bell peppers.
- Jalapeno adds a spicy kick along with a pop of color. You can leave the jalpéno out or replace it with poblano peppers or Anaheim peppers for a milder heat option. Or for a more heat option use habanero peppers.
- Garlic Salt enhances the overall flavor while also adding a bit of garlic flavor. You can use regular salt as a replacement but I highly recommend the garlic salt.
- Pineapple brings that sweet element to the guacamole, of course, this can be left out. Or you can add in extra pineapple chunks in if you like.
Coming Together In One Bowl
To create this deliciously sweet recipe I like to start by mixing together the fresh cilantro, red onion, diced tomatoes, diced Jalapéno, the sweet pineapple chunks, and the freshly squeezed lime juice. Mix the fresh ingredeints together in a mixing bowl and set aside so the flavors can marry together.
In a large bowl mash the creamy avocados to your desired consistency. I like to use a potato masher for this to make the avocado really creamy. Once you have the avocadoes mashed add in the bowl with the other ingredients and mix until combined. Season with garlic salt or regular salt to your taste preference.
Garnish the top of the pineapple guacamole with jalapéno, pineapple slices, and more fresh cilantro. Serve and enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips or in a burrito bowl.
Tips And Tricks
Here are some tips and tricks for this easy guacamole recipe.
When choosing the perfect avocados you will want to check the color, you want avocados that are dark green to almost black skin. Skip those bright green-skinned ones since they are most likely underripe.
Check the texture of the avocados, they should feel slightly firm but have a bit of give. Don't forget to check the stem of the avocados. If it comes off easily and reveals green underneath, it means it's ripe and ready to eat. If it's brown under neither that means it may be overripe.
Adjust the amount of pineapple used to achieve the perfect balance of sweetness in your guacamole. As well as the size of the pineapple chunks used.
Don't forget to use the fresh lime juice to help prevent the pineapple guacamole from browning. Also, allow the ingredients to sit and merry together a bit before mixing them in with the mashed avocados.
Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or toasted pita bread. This pineapple guacamole also complements many main meal dish recipes. Enjoy with your favorite Mexican food or as the perfect snack in the evening.
