Fresh pineapple stars in this fruity guacamole that sure hits the spot! Both kids and adults have enjoyed it as a poolside snack or as a satisfying appetizer at a summer barbecue. —Sarah White, Salt Lake City, Utah

Ingredients:
• 3 medium ripe avocados, peeled
• 2 cups finely chopped fresh pineapple
• 1 medium tomato, seeded and chopped
• 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
• 1/3 cup minced fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• Tortilla chips

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, mash two avocados. Stir in the pineapple, tomato, jalapenos, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper. Coarsely chop remaining avocado; gently stir into guacamole. Serve with chips.

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
