Pineapple Guac

Guacamole (known as “Guac” by its many friends) is easy to make, full of good-for-you monounsaturated fat, and gives you a half serving of vegetables in every snack-size serving. Here’s an inventive recipe that sweetens the original with a tropical infusion of canned, crushed pineapple that is nearly double the vitamin C content of the original.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 10
• Yields: 10

Ingredients

• 1  slice onion, about 1/2-inch thick, cut in chunks
• 1  garlic clove
• 1  canned jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded and halved
• 2  large  ripe avocados, peeled, pitted and cut in chunks
• 1  cup  crushed pineapple in juice, canned, drained
• 2  teaspoons fresh lemon juice
• 1  teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

1. Combine onion, garlic and jalapeño in the work bowl of a food processor, equipped with a knife blade, and chop finely. Add avocado, 2/3 of the crushed pineapple, lemon juice and salt, and process into a coarse purée. Scrape the guacamole into a serving bowl and mix in the remaining crushed pineapple.
