Grilled Pineapple Guacamole
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 sections of whole pineapple (see note), or 4 rings of pineapple
- 2 ripened avocados
- ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
- Juice from 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Pinch of ground chili powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly coat with cooking spray. Grill the pineapple 2-3 minutes per side, or until light grill marks appear. Once grilled, cut the pineapple into ½”- 1” chunks.
- Meanwhile scoop the avocado out into a medium mixing bowl. Add the onion, lime juice, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder and chili powder. Using a sharp knife, cut through the avocado in the bowl until it is a small dice.
- Use a spoon to make sure all the ingredients are combined, add the grilled pineapple chunks and stir once more until just combined. If you like your guacamole more smooth than chunky then mash the avocados more.
- Serve fresh with chips.
Notes
If using fresh pineapple follow these instructions:
1. Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple.
2. Sitting the pineapple upright, cut it in half, then into quarters.
3. Standing each quarter upright, cut it in half to make 2 wedges.
4. Standing each wedge upright, cut the point off down the entire length of each wedge to remove the thick core, about ½” - ¾” into the pineapple.
5. Still standing each wedge upright, cut the skin off each wedge.
