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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
