Pomegranate Guacamole
11/28/09 Filed in: Appetizers
This is a perfect and simple dish that takes just minutes to make. Everyone loves it's fresh taste. Perfect for tailgating season or for armchair quarterbacks, this dip is a big hit all the way around.
I love pomegranates. They add a sweet-tart taste and a vibrant color to a variety of dishes. Pomegrante season runs from October through January so they are a perfect holiday fruit. We have all heard how good they are for our health. Another nutritional powerhouse is the avocado, and avocado season (at least in Florida) is winding down. Paring the two ingredients gives us a healthy and yummy dish for all to enjoy.
Dice and mash two avocadoes. I use a potato masher because I find it much faster that using a fork. You want the avocado to be chunky but creamy at the same time. Add the juice of one or two lemons depending on your taste. I was using Myer lemons, so I used two. They are sweeter and milder in flavor so I felt I needed more juice to give it a twang. Add about 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and mix well. Add 1/2 cup pomegranate and mix in. Taste before adding salt and adjusting lemon jiuce. Serve with chips or crackers.
This will keep in the fridge for a few days if covered well.
