Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 small jalapeño, finely diced (optional)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocados: Cut ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash gently with a fork until creamy but still slightly chunky for texture.
  2. Add lime juice and seasonings: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mashed avocado to brighten flavors and prevent browning. Sprinkle salt to taste, add finely chopped red onion, and stir well.
  3. Mix in jalapeño and cilantro: Incorporate finely diced jalapeño (if using) for heat and fresh chopped cilantro for brightness, folding gently to maintain texture.
  4. Fold in pomegranate seeds: Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds, distributing them evenly to add juicy bursts and crunch.
  5. Taste and adjust: Sample the guacamole and adjust salt, lime juice, or jalapeño heat as desired before serving.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best creamy texture.
  • Tap pomegranate seeds carefully into a bowl to avoid bitter pith and ease cleanup.
  • Use fresh lime juice for optimal flavor and color preservation rather than bottled juice.
  • Mash avocados gently to keep some chunks for a satisfying texture.
  • Prepare guacamole just before serving to maintain freshness and vibrant colors.
