Tropical Pineapple Guacamole is a refreshing twist on the classic dip, blending creamy avocados with juicy pineapple for a sweet and tangy surprise. Perfect for summer gatherings or anytime you crave a burst of tropical flavor!
Avocados form the rich, creamy base of this guacamole, providing healthy fats and a luscious texture. Pineapple adds a sweet and tangy contrast that elevates the flavor profile. Lime juice not only brightens the flavors but also helps to keep the avocado from browning. Red onion offers a subtle crunch and sharpness, balancing the sweetness of the pineapple. Cilantro brings a fresh, herbal note that ties all the ingredients together. Jalapeño adds a mild heat, adjustable to your preference. A pinch of salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika rounds out the flavor with a hint of smoky warmth.
This tropical guacamole pairs wonderfully with tortilla chips for a classic snack. For a healthier option, serve it with sliced bell peppers or cucumber rounds. It also makes a great topping for grilled chicken or fish tacos, adding a burst of fresh flavor.
First things first, slice open the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. You’ll want to grab a fork and add the lime juice right away; this will keep the avocados bright and green while you mash them to your preferred consistency—chunky or smooth, it’s up to you.
Next, toss in the diced pineapple, making sure it’s well-drained to avoid any unwanted liquid in your guacamole. Follow up with the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. These ingredients work together to bring a burst of freshness and a little heat.
Now, sprinkle in the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir everything together until it’s well combined, and be sure to give it a taste. Adjust the seasoning if needed—sometimes just a pinch more salt can make all the difference.
Finally, transfer your guacamole to a serving dish and dive in; it’s best enjoyed fresh! If you need to store it for later, read on for tips.
