Ingredient Notes & Substitutions

Avocados: choose medium-firm avocados, you don't want them to be overripe. Storage tip: keep ripe avocados in a jar of water to prevent them from becoming too ripe
Pineapple: fresh pineapple is ideal - look for a pineapple that is yellow/brown in color
Mango: like with the avocados, look for a medium-firm texture
Onion
Jalapeno: if you like a spicy guac, include more of the jalapeno seeds. For a less spicy dish use less seeds or omit the jalapeno entirely
Lime Juice: fresh juice is best! You can also use lemon juice.
Salt

FAQ & Expert Tips

How to cut a pineapple

In general
1. Slice the top and bottom off the pineapple.
2. Then stand the pineapple upright on your cutting board and slice off the outer skin in 6-8 downward slices. You should now have a large cylinder.
3. Cut the cylinder in half lengthwise, then slice each half into thirds or quarters. This will leave you with long, triangle shaped pieces.
4. Remove the hard core from each triangle strip. Then cube.

To use as a serving dish
If you want to use your pineapple as a serving dish, you'll need to cut the pineapple in a different way.

1. Lay the pineapple on its side and using a long, sharp knife slice the entire pineapple, including the leaves at the top, in half lengthwise.
2. Take one half and cut cross-hatches horizontally and vertically through the center, leaving ½" of margin around the edges. Your cross-hatches should be deep, but not cut through the bottom of the pineapple.
3. Then use a spoon to scoop out your cubes. You'll be left with the shell of the pineapple.

How to cut a mango

A mango has one long, flat seed in the center of the fruit so you'll need to cut around it. Slice each side just past the seed, about a ¼" from the center.

Then use a peeler to remove the skin and cube the inner flesh. Or, follow a similar method to the pineapple and cut the halves into cross-hatches before scooping out the insides.

Storing guacamole

Avocados go bad quickly, so be sure to store your guacamole in an air tight container.

Place a sheet of plastic wrap directly on top of the guacamole, to prevent air from reaching the guac.
