Ingredients

Scale

Guacamole Base

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • ½ small red onion, diced
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeds removed and finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt

Pomegranate Garnish

  • ¾ cup pomegranate seeds (divided into ½ cup and ¼ cup)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the ripe avocados, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, finely diced jalapeno pepper, minced garlic, lime juice, and sea salt.
  2. Mash Mixture: Use a fork to mash all the ingredients together, ensuring the guacamole is well combined but still retains some chunky texture for a pleasant mouthfeel.
  3. Add Pomegranate Seeds: Gently stir in ½ cup of the pomegranate seeds to distribute the sweet and tart flavor throughout the guacamole.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Transfer the guacamole into a serving bowl. Top with the remaining ¼ cup pomegranate seeds and an extra sprinkle of fresh cilantro to enhance the visual appeal with a beautiful red and green color contrast.

Notes

  • For milder guacamole, reduce or omit the jalapeno pepper.
  • Use freshly squeezed lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Serve immediately or cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning, refrigerate up to 1 day.
  • This guacamole pairs well with tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or as a topping for tacos and salads.
