Pomegranate Guacamole

Pomegranate guacamole is a new twist on an old classic. I love the festive color and burst of flavor from the pomegranate seeds.

By now you’ve probably noticed that I love avocados. I have shared several recipes featuring this versatile fruit that acts like a vegetable. You may remember some of these:

Tropical Chickpea Salad

Summer Hearts of Palm Salad

Massaged Kale Salad with Lots of Veggies

Potato and Kale Tacos

Avocado & Tomatillo Salsa

Avocado and Pomegranate Toast

If you enjoyed that last one, you will really like this twist on classic guacamole. I love how festive it looks for the holidays. And when it’s Spring or Summer, you can make the same recipe but omit the pomegranate seeds.

I love this pomegranate guacamole with tortilla chips or for topping tacos.

Ingredients

• 4 avocados
• 1 small red or white onion diced
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 3 Tbsp lemon juice (1 lemon)
• 4 dashes hot sauce (add more if you like it spicy)
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• salt to taste
• 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions

1. Remove the flesh from the avocados and place in a medium bowl. Add the onion, garlic, lemon juice, hot sauce, cumin, and salt. Use a fork to combine the ingredients. I like to keep the guacamole a little chunky.
2. Top the guacamole with the pomegranate seeds and serve. Enjoy!
