Ingredients

Servings
  • cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons seeded and minced serrano chiles
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin
  • 4 large avocados - peeled pitted, and chopped
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ¾ cup peeled cored, and finely diced pear - be sure to only use a ripe pear with soft flesh
  • ¾ cup quartered seedless green grapes
  • ¾ cup pomegranate seeds plus a bit more for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the onion, chiles, salt, and cumin. Add the avocados and lime juice, and gently fold a few times to incorporate. You want the avocados to remain chunky. Then fold in the pear, grapes, and pomegranate.
  2. Garnish with additional pomegranate seeds and serve with tortilla chips. Enjoy immediately or cover tightly and chill for up to a couple hours.

Notes

  • Adapted from Gourmet magazine December 2001, a similar favorite appetizer made by Jan Mulfinger at SALA Architects company parties.
