Grilled Pineapple Guacamole

Since I had a few slices of grilled pineapple leftover from our salads the other night, and I also had a couple avocados that needed to be used, I thought hmm grilled pineapple mixed in with guacamole?  Turns out this is a popular recipe!  I found lots of recipes raving about the great flavor the grilled pineapple adds to the guacamole and this turned out to be completely true!  I served the dip with some sweet potato chips, making it a complete gluten free snack/appetizer.  I found the original recipe on the blog Paleomg, which is one that I definitely recommend you check out!  Juli has some great-looking Paleo recipes (many more of which I need to try out!).
