Guacamole is such a summertime staple for us. It doesn’t make you feel weighed down, but still has so much flavor. Liven up your guacamole for this summer by making it homemade and adding some diced pineapple for extra flavor. This recipe is easy to make and sure to be a crowd pleaser for any event.
Timing
I would recommend making this recipe the day you plan to eat it. Guacamole is okay when stored in the fridge, but avocados tend to brown very fast. So, your guests may not be as interested in it due to the color. However, if you do end up with leftovers, you can store it in an air-tight container and still have it the next day, just give it a good mix before eating.
What Equipment Do I Need?
- Cutting Board & Knife
- Small Mixing Bowl
- Potato Masher or Large Fork
- Spoon
- Optional – Citrus Squeezer – If you don’t have one of these, you can use lime juice instead of fresh squeezed lime.
- Optional – Garlic Press
Ingredients
- Large Avocados
- Tomato
- Red Onion
- Serrano Pepper
- Garlic Clove
- Limes
- Salt
- Cilantro
- Diced Pineapple – You can buy a whole one and dice it yourself – save the leftovers for other recipes or snacks!
Substitutions
- Garlic Clove – If garlic doesn’t sit well with you, you can omit this. Or, you can use minced garlic or garlic powder instead.
- Serrano Pepper – Feel free to swap this out for jalapeño instead.
- Limes – You can you use lime juice instead.
- Cilantro – Dried cilantro is also okay instead of fresh.
- Fun Tip – This goes really well with a drizzle of hot honey if you’re not vegan, or search for a spicy agave nectar.
