Homemade guacamole with fresh pomegranate makes a beautiful holiday appetizer! It’s a vegetarian/vegan, gluten-free snack that everyone will enjoy. This guacamole goes great with tortilla chips and prepared raw vegetables, like carrots and broccoli. Recipe yields about 3 cups of guacamole (enough for a small gathering) and could easily be halved.

Ingredients

1/2 cup crumbled feta
1 medium pomegranate, deseeded
2 jalapenos
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, mostly leaves, chopped
1/2 medium red onion, chopped
1 tsp. salt
2 cloves garlic
2 tbsp. fresh lime juice
4 medium ripe avocados, pitted and diced

Method

01

With a spoon, scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the lime juice, garlic and salt. Mash the ingredients together with a large fork or potato masher until the avocado is nice and creamy.
02

To ensure that the onion flavor doesn’t overpower the guacamole, rinse the chopped onion under running water (I used a fine mesh colander). Pat the onion dry with a paper towel.
03

Add the onion, chopped cilantro and jalapeno to the bowl and mix well. Gently stir in 1/2 of the pomegranate arils. For extra presentation points, transfer the guacamole to an appropriately sized serving bowl now.
04

Sprinkle remaining pomegranate arils over guacamole, along with some additional chopped cilantro and totally optional feta, if you’d like. Serve immediately.
