Fruity Guacamole
I love Guacamole, and yet, it’s something that I rarely make at home. I don’t know why. It’s full of heart healthy fat and tastes so good, that I always wonder why I don’t make it more often.
This guacamole isn’t your typical run-of-the-mill guac. It’s packed with vitamin rich fruit!
Yep. You heard me. Fruit.
Now hold on there a minute, before you start screeching the brakes, it really is worth a try.
Sweet mangos, juicy peaches, tart granny smith apples, and fresh basil turn this guacamole into something truly special.
I added a little cilantro too, for the traditional zippiness (is that a word?).
Serve with tortillas chips, or if you’re trying to be a little more conscious of your waistline, scoop it up with fresh celery spears or sweet pepper strips.
Fruity Guacamole
- 2 avocados
- juice of one lime
- 1/4 yellow onion, diced
- 1 mango, peeled and diced
- 1/2 yellow peach, peeled and diced
- 1/2 Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
- 1/4 habanero pepper, seeds removed, minced (optional)
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped basil
- 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro
- salt & pepper to taste
1. Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into small cubes. Scoop the cubes into a medium bowl, and mash with a fork until chunky.
2. Stir in the lime juice, diced onion, mango, peaches, apple, habanero pepper (if using), basil, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

I love it! Sounds sweet, delicious, and it looks great, i love the green of your guacamole it's gorgeous!
Love it and does not make it as often as I would like. Never seen it with mangoes. That must be delicious.
No need to slow me down, that actually sounds pretty amazing to me! I bet the avocado tastes brilliant with mango :) Buzzed!
Oh this looks great!, well done thanks for sharing!
Love from Spain
This sounds very interesting..I love your recipe, bit unusual but I would be all over it..I love the idea of mango in it! Great photos too!
What a cool idea!! I'm obsessed with homemade guacamole! I bet the mangoes are really good with it!!
I love guac with fruit, especially mango. Have never made it with peach, so that will be next. Great pics.
thanks for the idea.
Fruit - wow! I made guacamole tonight (I make it at home all the time- I can't get enough of it) but it wouldn't have occured to me to add fruit!
If you're watching your weight, another thing you can do is to make homemade tortilla chips - just cut up a tortilla wrap (180 calories), add some cooking spray and salt and pepper and bake in a hot oven for a couple of minutes.
I love avocado anything. :) I've never put fruit (except tomatoes) in guacamole, but it sounds delicious!
I make guacamole at home all the time...and this sounds like something I would LOVE to try! Buzzed!
What an interesting version. Not too far off as avocado is actually genetically a fruit.
This sounds good. I don't know if I would make it with apples and peaches, maybe just peaches, or maybe mangoes.
I make guacamole at home, a few times a year. So easy and so delicious,
I love the idea of adding fruit to guacamole! Zippiness totally works for me...
This is beautiful and I bet it tastes even better than it looks. Such a great twist on a classic. Must be buzzed.
This looks utterly divine! The perfect way to close out summer.
It s new taste for me.. in my try list..
Oh, what a delectable twist on guacamole! I love the idea of a sweet and fruity addition to my favorite dip~
wow what a fruity combination.. yum
Congrats on the Top 9 today!
This sounds absolutely delicious! I also love guacamole but have never made it at home. We always have an avocado on hand, so I should just do it! Thanks for this twist on the usual recipe.
I've made guacamole with peaches before and it is good. I like the idea of mangoes too, but would have never, in a million years, thought of putting apples or basil in it. I live in Mexico and eat quite a bit of guacamole. I can't wait to see the reactions when I serve this recipe.
I love it! Such a great idea and such great flavor parings...totally delicious!
Watermelon is another fruit you should try in guac---so delish! I've never put peach in mine--can't wait to see how it is!
Delicious! And I love the fruity twist on one of our favorite eats. Thanks for sharing. We will be making this over the weekend!
I adore guacamole! I just posted an avocado salsa. Can't get enough. I really have to go drool over your lemon basil chicken salad now! Sounds fantastic.
This rocks my world!
this sounds fantastic! thank you for sharing this.
Wow what a genius idea! I've heard of adding peas to guac before, but never this!
I love that you totally adapted this and gave it your own twist, it looks delicious!
