Fresh Twist on a Classic: A Deliciously Chunky Guacamole Recipe

When it comes to guacamole, most of us are used to a smooth, creamy dip. But what if we told you that adding some texture to the mix can elevate this classic snack to a whole new level? Introducing our chunky guacamole recipe, featuring diced avocado, cucumber, and pineapple.

The Perfect Blend of Flavors and Textures

By dicing the avocado, cucumber, and pineapple, we’ve created a guacamole that’s more akin to a fresh salsa than a traditional dip. The cucumber and pineapple add a refreshing sweetness and a burst of acidity, while the diced avocado provides a satisfying chunkiness. This unique combination makes for a perfect accompaniment to fish tacos, chips, or even a margarita (or two!).

Selecting the Right Avocados

When choosing avocados for this recipe, look for ones that yield slightly to pressure but are still firm to the touch. We recommend using Hass avocados for their rich, creamy flavor.
