Caribbean Guacamole
Avocado is a favorite of mine in all forms. I especially enjoy cooking with avocado oil. This guacamole from the California Avocado Growers is a nice twist.
Caribbean Guacamole
Ingredients:
4 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, peeled and seeded.
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1 cup finely diced fresh mango
1 cup finely diced fresh pineapple, well-drained
¼ cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp. salt
Method:
- Coarsely mash (DO NOT PUREE) Fresh California Avocados.
- Fold in remaining ingredients.
Serving Suggestions:
Place guacamole in the center of a platter surrounded by sweet potato or plantain chips.
Beverage Pairings:
Serve with fruity rum cocktails.
*Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
Guacamole is best made as close to serving as possible. For short-term storage, seal in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface of the guacamole and refrigerate.
