Caribbean Guacamole

Avocado is a favorite of mine in all forms. I especially enjoy cooking with avocado oil. This guacamole from the California Avocado Industry 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:

    1. Coarsely mash (DO NOT PUREE) Fresh California Avocados.
    2. 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.
