Tips for the Perfect Bacon Pineapple Guacamole

• Use Fresh Pineapple: Fresh pineapple adds a juicy sweetness that makes all the difference.
• Crispy Bacon: For the best texture, use crispy bacon to add a crunchy bite.
• Control the Spice: Adjust jalapeño to your taste – leave the seeds in for more heat or skip it for a milder dip.

Substitutions and Variations

• Turkey Bacon Option: Use turkey bacon for a lighter version with a similar smoky flavor.
• Add Mango: Swap pineapple with diced mango for another sweet, tropical touch.
• Extra Creaminess: For an extra creamy guacamole, add a small dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.

Make a Healthier Version

• Reduce Bacon: Use just two strips of bacon for lower sodium.
• Skip the Chips: Serve with veggie sticks like bell pepper or cucumber slices for a low-carb option.
• Low-Sodium: Reduce salt to keep sodium content in check, as bacon adds saltiness too.

Instructions

Lay the bacon in a cold, non-stick medium skillet. Turn the heat to medium and let the bacon cook until brown (but not TOO crispy), about 8 minutes. Flip each piece and cook until the second side is also brown. Remove to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

Safest way to cut an avocado: Since we’re using the whole avocado, start by cutting it in half from top (root end) to bottom, arcing the knife around the pit. Then repeat this, cutting the avocado in half again perpendicular so you have 4 equal sections. Now simply pull the four sections away from the pit and discard the pit. See? No need to thwack the pit with a knife and accidentally cut your thumb.

If using fresh pineapple, reserve some of the juice. If using canned crushed pineapple, drain but reserve the juice. 

Mash up the avocados and add the pineapple, 2 teaspoons of the pineapple juice, lime juice and salt. Dice or crumble 3 of the bacon strips into small little nuggets and stir those in. Taste, keeping in mind the bacon also adds salt. Add more salt, pineapple juice or lime juice if necessary. Dollop into a serving bowl and crumble the last bacon strip over the top. Serve immediately.
