Strawberry Guacamole

Strawberry guacamole! Chunky avocado guacamole with bursts of tart sweet juiciness from strawberries.

Here’s an easy way to up your guacamole game—toss some chopped fresh strawberries in it!

I first got the idea of adding fruit to guacamole years ago at a cooking class with Diana Kennedy, the doyen of Mexican cooking, who made for us a guacamole with chopped peaches and pomegranate seeds.

The bits of sweet and tart fruit balance beautifully with the creamy salty mashed avocado.

In addition to the strawberries in this guacamole, I’ve also added some chopped dried cranberries, for bursts of sweetness. You can skip them if you want (if you are going paleo), and just stick with the strawberries.

Just make sure to taste as you go! A good guacamole is all about balance of flavors and textures—creamy, tart, tangy, salty, and in this case sweet as well.
