Do you like fruit in your food?
I don’t know how else to phrase that question, but do you know what I mean? Some people only like fruit on its own.
Personally I love fruit in many forms: salads, breads, cookies, even with cheesy sandwiches.
For those of you who don’t care for the idea of it mixed in with your guac, I’ve already shared with you what I dubbed the “best ever guacamole” recipe.
This one comes with just a few tweaks!
My cousin Katherine and I share a love for pineapple and jalapeño pizza, and she is the person who told me about a guacamole version like this at Aldi’s.
I don’t know how I never thought of it before, but thank you Kat for inspiring me to make this!
I basically replaced the tomato in the “best ever” version with the pineapple, and added more jalapeños than usual.
As always, adjust to your taste buds!
Sizes for avocados, limes, and jalapeños all vary – as do personal preferences. So keep this in mind when mixing all the ingredients together if something seems too much or not enough.
When making a bowl of guacamole just for me, I usually add more lime juice and most of the mix-ins. I like a little extra crunch from onion in every bite.
I did not go as far as to serve it in the pineapple (like I tried with that smoothie) but how cute would that be for a party?
Tell me if you like fruit in your guacamole, and what else you love to eat fruit with in the comments!

- I like extra lime juice in my guacamole but it's good to start small with 1/2 a lime at a time, and tasting as you go.
