As if guacamole isn’t good enough by itself. Grilled pineapple takes it to a whole new level! I planned on making a pineapple pico to go with dinner but ended up stuck in a torrential downpour and was late getting home. So rather than waste the leftover grilled pineapple I had already diced I just threw it in with the guac! Some days my family should thank me for being lazy! The addition of flavor from the pineapple is top notch! I may never eat plain guac again and I’m ok with that!
Grilled Pineapple Guac by Clean Eats & Treats
The key to getting my kids to love guacamole is by finely FINELY dicing the onion and serreno peppers. They won’t touch it with chunks. And by fine I mean minuscule. It’s tedious but they end up licking the bowl clean after a healthy snack so the extra work is worth it to me!
