Description

A vibrant and refreshing Pomegranate Avocado Salsa combining creamy avocado chunks with juicy pomegranate seeds, zesty lime juice, and fresh herbs, perfect as a nutritious dip or topping for various dishes.


Ingredients

Avocado Mixture

  • 2 ripe avocados

Fruits and Vegetables

  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped

Seasonings

  • 2 limes, juiced
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare Avocados: Slice the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl, keeping the pieces chunky to retain texture in the salsa.
  2. Add Pomegranate and Lime Juice: Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds to the avocado pieces, then immediately add the lime juice to prevent the avocado from browning and to add a fresh tang.
  3. Mix in Onions and Cilantro: Stir in the finely chopped red onion and cilantro along with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for a balance of flavors.
  4. Serve: Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve immediately. This salsa is best enjoyed fresh to maintain its vibrant texture and flavors.

Notes

  • To keep the avocado from browning, add the lime juice immediately after folding in the pomegranate seeds.
  • This salsa pairs well with grilled meats, fish, or as a topping on tacos.
  • For a spicier version, consider adding finely chopped jalapeño.
  • Serve fresh for best texture and flavor; leftovers may brown over time.
