I realized the other day that it has been nearly a year — a year! — since I posted a guacamole recipe on the blog.

Highly unacceptable. Especially considering that chips and salsa and guac are basically a food group unto themselves in mi casa, and make an appearance at least weekly (if not more).

Most of the time, I’m a purist with my guac and tend to stick to my classic recipe for perfect guacamole. (I stand by the name — it’s hard to beat!)  But for a fresh twist for spring this week, I decided to try adding some fresh pineapple to a batch of guac to share with my friends for our weekly neighbor night. And oh man, the second I began chopping up that sweet and juicy pineapple, I knew that delicious things were ahead.

We loved this guac!!!

Ok, honestly I would have been shocked if I didn’t love this recipe, because pineapple and guac are two of my favorite foods on earth. But I had forgotten how much I love fruity guacamole recipes, especially when that extra sweetness pairs with the subtle (or you can make it not-so-subtle) kick of jalapeno.

And even better, when that sweet + spicy + creamy combination can pair with some lightly salted, hearty chips. And with as much salsa and guac as I consume, you’d better believe I have developed some opinions on my preferred chips, which is why I’m pretty stoked to be partnering with Garden of Eatin’ for today’s post.

This brand of chips has been one of my favorites for years, mostly because they taste great and are the perfect thickness to scoop up a good bite of guacamole without crumbling on you. But I also love that they’re made with organic ingredients, and just 3 simple ingredients at that (organic corn, oil and salt), plus they’re certified gluten-free. Win, win, win.

Oh, and I happen to think the blue corn tortilla chips look extra lovely when paired with this green and yellow guacamole. Because anyone who knows me will vouch that the more colors in my food, the merrier this food blogger tends to be. ;)

Speaking of color, check out the pretty rainbow of ingredients in this guac!

To make it, simply mash everything together to your desired level of chunky-ness. (I like mine pretty chunky!)  And don’t be afraid to mash up the pineapple a bit too, so that the juices infuse the guac.

Then dish it up! I added some extra pineapple and cilantro on top for serving to make things pretty, and also because I apparently can’t get enough pineapple in my life.

And then we dished this up for my neighbor night with friends. I actually was coming from another happy hour with friends, and ended up strolling into my apartment at the same time as all of my neighbors. So this was the perfect quick and easy appetizer to whip up at the last minute. Everyone loved it, so I hope you do too!

So grab a fresh pineapple and some avocados, and let’s guac and roll, baby!

  1. I am a firm believer that pineapple can never be a bad idea, and this just proves my point! I am typically a guac purist as well, and don’t like to mess with a perfectly simply avocado recipe, but I am ALL OVER this fruity addition! Pinned!

  2. Pineapple with everything…love it!

  3. All of my favs in one bowl. Pinned! Also- I actually love your mom’s comment name :D

  4. Guac and roll ALL THE WAY. PS. I heart those Garden of Eden Chips. They can stand up to even the chunkiest salsas, and I’m convinced blue corn chips taste better :)

  5. And by “Garden of Eden” I mean “Garten of Eatin'” lol. Siri auto correct strikes again!

  6. Pineapple in guacamole! Love this! 

  7. I love guacamole and pineapples! I can’t wait to try this!

  8. This looks amazing! I love fresh pineapple with Mexican food. This is a must make!

  9. OK you are convincing me to buy a pineapple!! Love all the creative ways you’re using it!! Now if only I could get my hand on some good avos!

  10. Love it! I absolutely adore having fresh fruit in my gauc (like mango or kiwi), and pineapple sounds fab. I pity anyone who doesn’t like guacamole. I always want to eat the whole bowl.

  11. Oh man oh man! You know how much I love spicy pineapple and guacamole. Where’s my margarita?

  12. This looks so fresh and so good Ali! Those Garden of Eden chips are so so good! I tried them for the first time this past weekend and they were amazing.

  13. Omg! I seriously can’t believe how good this looks. Pair it up with some mango salsa and blood orange margaritas and I’d be in heaven. 

  14. Be still my heart. Seriously, I am dying inside as I read this post. This. Is. Perfect. I need it now. Like seriously NOW.

  15. Hi Ali!
    I was about to make this recipe. However, some of my friends do not like cilantro- is there any substitute that I could use for this recipe?

    Thanks!

    • Hey Carolina, you could try parsley, but that’s the only thing I can think of that is a close substitute. For a completely different flavor, you could throw in some fresh basil if your friends like that (I think it goes really well with pineapple and avocado). Hope that helps! : )

  16. I always love a good mango guacamole or salsa, and this looks just as delicious!

  17. Nice!  I love adding pineapple to guacamole!

  18. Can you tell me where I can find the chips? The recipe sounds yummy.

  19. I thought I saw that you have a bread that is called Rye but gluten-free. Why can’t I find this in stores?

  20. This sounds so good – I can’t wait to try it – but – what else can you do with it besides just serving it as a dip?

    • Thanks Sharon! You could add it on top of some grilled fish or chicken, put it in a burrito or taco, spread it on top of some grilled pita and add some salsa, or add it to a wrap! Hope you enjoy : )

  21. Your recipe looks healthy and delicious and I want to try this at home. Thanks for this very informative blog and what a healthy recipe. Can’t wait to try this pineapple guacamole. :-) Perfect for a  diet.

  22. This recipe was amazing!!!! I just tied for the win in my Spanish class’s guacamole contest!!! I added a little bit of garlic, but other than that this recipe was perfecto! Thank you soooo much!

  23. This is everything I’ve ever wanted, absolutely making this this weekend!

  24. Hello there! I just wanted to let you know that I featured this recipe on my blog (with a url link back to this page). If you want to view it I’ll include the link below :)

  25. this sounds delicious! do you think I could use small diced canned pineapple (in juice, not syrup of course)?

  26. Yes. This. With grilled shrimp. Mmmm. Soft tacos. 
    Gotta go to the store. NOW.

  27. I had this last night at a friend’s super bowl party and after getting over the feeling that my ancestors were frowning at me from heaven, it wasn’t so bad. I would add some habanero peppers to balance the sweetness. Maybe a bell pepper for those who aren’t partial to spicy food. And ditch the cumin. 

  28. No hablo inglés pero con las fotos son suficientes es como una comunicación de corazón a corazón, Voy a preparar se ve delicioso gracias por compartir
