Ingredients
- 3-5 whole ripe avocados mashed
- ½ pomegranate seeds only
- ½ cup red onion diced
- 1 small jalapeño deseeded
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes diced
- ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- ½ tbsp chile lime seasoning
- heavy pinch of salt to taste
Instructions
- First prepare your produce: Finely dice red onion, cilantro, jalapeño and tomatoes. Remove the pomegranate seeds from the peel. Slice avocados in half and scoop out the inside flesh.
- Add the avocados, lime juice, and seasoning into a large bowl. Mash avocados together using a large fork or potato masher. If you like a chunkier guac, do less mashing.
- Pour in the guacamole fixings: tomatoes, onions, pomegranate, and cilantro. Stir together. Give it a taste test and add more kosher salt or lime juice if necessary.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over top, garnish with pomegranate seeds, and sprinkle with sea salt. Add the fresh guacamole to a serving bowl. Serve fresh or in a fun way, like on a pile of tortilla chips!

Notes
- Best served fresh as the avocado will begin to brown in the fridge with extensive storage. If needed, I will store the guacamole in an airtight container and also put a piece of plastic wrap on top of the guacamole, so it's pressing against it (no air pockets), then place the lid on. It preserves it better.
- Serve classically with chips or this recipe is also great on top of fish tacos, grilled chicken, on a turkey sandwich or burgers, too.
