Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday. We did a lot of yard work over the weekend so today we are going to relax. Well, I am going to try and make Josh relax. He seems to always find another project to work on:) We will be getting our grill out later this afternoon. First up on the grilling list, Grilled Guacamole. It is the perfect appetizer or side dish to any summer barbeque.
I’ve always loved avocados, but pregnancy has made me need them on a regular basis. We have been eating avocado everything-avocado ice cream, salsa, and guacamole. My new favorite guacamole is Grilled Guacamole. Grilling the avocados brings out a nice smoky flavor. You don’t grill the avocados for long, about 5-7 minutes, just until the avocados have black grill marks.
Next, you can add in all of the traditional guacamole ingredients-lime juice, garlic, onion, tomatoes, cilantro, jalapeno, salt, and pepper. Smash everything together and you have a bowl of creamy, smoky, delicious guacamole. Grab a bag of tortilla chips and start dipping.
I think everything in the summer time tastes better grilled, including this guacamole. If you are looking for a new way to enjoy guacamole, try Grilled Guacamole. I am sure the unique smoky flavor will win you over.

We tried this yesterday, it was fun, but I couldn’t taste a difference in the guac. We had grill issues yesterday, so maybe it was a technical malfunction. I may try it again.

grilled avocados for the salsa…. i love it. the grill probibly adds such a wonderful chard and smokey flavor to the guac. We are huge guacmole fans and i think this is just such a wonderful idea and would add and extra zip to a classic.
