Monster Mash in a Private Pineapple Boat

I got this recipe from a Parent & Child Mag. I thought my kids would like this.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  large pineapple
• 4  avocados
• 3⁄4 cup onion, finely diced
• 1  cup tomatoes, diced
• 1⁄3 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1⁄3 cup pineapple, diced finely
• 1  jalapeno, finely diced seeds discarded (kids should not handle) (optional)
• 1  lemon, juice of (to taste)
•  salt (to taste)
• 1 (8 ounce) jar mild salsa
• 1 (12 ounce) bag tortilla chips, triangle shaped

Directions

1. Prep the pineapple by cutting one side off, removing about 1/3 of the fruit from top to bottom.
2. Tip over the pineapple, so it resembles a flat-topped "boat" with leafy stern. Remove the core by cutting the top and bottom of the "v" to loosen and remove the cut piece.
3. Using a curved, serrated knife or a spoon, remove the rest of the fruit from the pineapple shell.
4. Cut avocados in halfand remove the pits. Give each child a large spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin and into a bowl, mashing and mushing it along the way.
5. Add the onion, tomato cilantro, pineapple, and jalapeno (optional). Mix throughly.
6. Add lemon juice and salt to taste.
7. Scoop this mixture into the pineapple boat and add a triangle tortilla chip sail. Serve with salsa and triangle tortilla chips.
