    This Pomegranate Guacamole recipe is the perfect easy but elevated guacamole recipe! The red and green make for a festive holiday or Christmas guacamole, but it is a delicious and impressive year-round appetizer and side!

    I first had guacamole with pomegranate seeds at Barrio Queen in Scottsdale which serves their guacamole tableside, and let me tell you... adding the pomegranates was life-changing! Pomegranates bring guacamole to a whole other level. This pomegranate guacamole is one of the easiest appetizers to make but you are guaranteed to get compliments from anyone you share it with!

    Key Ingredients

    I like to keep my guacamole simple with just a few delicious ingredients! Diced jalapeno, onion, or cilantro are great additions if you prefer more ingredients.

    • Pomegranate seeds: The pomegranate seeds add sweetness to the creamy and acidic guacamole. They also have a slight crunch to them, which pairs great with the soft avocado.
    • Avocados: I recommend ½ - ¾ of an avocado per person, depending on how many other things you are serving. It is always a good idea to pick up an extra avocado or two, in case any of them are over-ripe.
    • Limes: to get the most juice out of your limes, slice the limes around the tough fibrous center.
    • Garlic salt: if you can't find garlic salt, you can also use a combination of garlic powder and salt.

    How to make pomegranate guacamole

    1. Smash together the avocado, lime juice, garlic salt, and pepper until you reach your desired consistency.
    2. Top with fresh pomegranate seeds and serve!

    Expert Tips

    • To tell if your avocados are ripe, wiggle the stem that it at the top of the avocado. If it wiggles easily or falls off, it is ripe!
    • Keep unopened avocados on the counter until they are perfectly ripe. Once ripe, keep them in the fridge for extended life.
    • Top the guacamole with about half the pomegranate seeds to start. As it is devoured, add the rest halfway!

    This guacamole is so easy to make and only takes 5 ingredients (and one of those is pepper!). I hope you try it and let me know what you think in the comments below!
