Pink Grapefruit Guacamole

Courtesy of California Avocado Commission 8 Servings • 15 Min. Prep Time
Ingredients
3 ripe Fresh California Avocados, seeded and peeled
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 medium sweet pink grapefruit, halved
1/2 medium jalapeño, seeded and diced
1 small yellow onion, peeled and diced
1/2 tsp. cumin (comino)
1 Tbsp. cilantro leaves, chopped

Directions:

1. Place the avocado in a bowl and sprinkle with kosher salt.

2. Squeeze the juice from one grapefruit half over the avocado.

3. Mash the avocado and grapefruit juice, until chunky-smooth (or to your textural preference). Set aside.

4. Remove the meat from both halves of the grapefruit in whichever way is easiest for you. I prefer to cut them into quarters and cut the meat out of each quarter and then chop it.

5. Cut the grapefruit meat with a small knife and add it to the avocado mixture. Add the jalapeño and onion to the avocado mixture.

6. Top with cumin and cilantro and mix. Serve.

Note: Make sure the grapefruit is sweet, and this guacamole will wow your friends and family with its unexpected flavor.

* Large avocados are recommended for this recipe. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.
