Grilled Guacamole Recipe

This grilled guacamole recipe is going to be your new favorite summer dip. Grilling all of the vegetables gives the guacamole a smoky and unforgettable taste.

It’s time for the 2017 summer edition of the Freaky Friday Blog Hop!

You may be wondering what the Freaky Friday Blog Hop is. Multiple bloggers get together and are each secretly given another blog to choose a recipe from to then recreate.

Today, we all published our posts at the same time and found out who got our blog. I find the whole process very exciting – I love being able to pick any recipe I want from a website full of fantastic recipes.

Plus, there is a fun anticipation in waiting to see who you is making one of your recipes and seeing what they decide to make.

For this summer edition, I picked a recipe that is PERFECT for hot summer days. You’ll want to bring it to all of those end of summer barbecues. It’s also great for game day parties – break out that grill pan if it’s cold out.

And now for the big reveal. My secret Freaky Friday blogger is…… Aunt Bee from Aunt Bee’s Recipes!

It was so incredibly difficult to pick just one recipe from a blog that you love.

I thought about doing a dinner recipe, like these chicken fajita sliders (cause who doesn’t love sliders?) I also thought about doing a dessert – old-fashioned strawberry milkshakes or red velvet cheesecake cake both sound like recipes I would love.

In the end though my love of appetizers and dips drew me to this grilled guacamole. Seriously, I’m in love.

Break out that grill or your favorite grill pan and get to work. Grilling all of the ingredients of this guacamole recipe adds something incredibly special to this dip.

Even the name – grilled guacamole – sounds exciting.

Everyone who has eaten this after I made it the first time immediately asked for the recipe. I take that as an very good sign. I had to make it twice to take these photos because I couldn’t stop eating it. And it was so easy to make that I didn’t mind one bit!

You could use any guacamole recipe if you want; just grill everything. But, I am a little prejudiced and think this grilled guacamole recipe is the best.
