ANDREA'S POMEGRANATE GUACAMOLE
This guac is always a huge hit at parties and potlucks! I've gotten many requests for the recipe. It is so easy and delicious! You can use fresh cilantro instead of a big sploosh of cilantro paste, but the paste is easier and tastier.

MANGO POMEGRANATE GUACAMOLE
I can't get my mind off of this recipe...I finally will get a chance to make it this week for a small wedding reception I am hosting. I won't bother making a practice run of it because I just don't trust myself with a bowl of guacamole. From Gourmet Nov. 2008

INSPIRED AVOCADO GUACAMOLE W. POMEGRANATE & PEARS
This recipe originates from Gourmet & is really something special. I serve this every year for Rosh Hashana as an appetiser along with my challahs as pomegranate seeds are symbolically very significant. Very different from what you may be used to but oh so delicious!(prep time includes 1 hour in frig.)

Steps:
- Mash onion, chiles& salt to a rough paste.
- Gradually add pulp from the avocadoes, coarsly mashing it.
- You want it to be chunky.
- Stir in lime juice.
- Fold in pear& grapes& then 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour placing avocado pit in the middle of the mixture so it retains its color.
- Remove pit.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup more seeds over the guacamole& serve.
- Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use ripe pomegranates: Look for pomegranates that are heavy for their size and have a deep red color. The arils should be plump and juicy.
- Choose fresh avocados: Avocados should be ripe but not too soft. They should yield to gentle pressure when pressed.
- Add some heat: If you like your guacamole spicy, add a chopped jalapeño pepper or some cayenne pepper to taste.
- Use fresh cilantro: Cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to guacamole. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can use dried cilantro, but it won't be as flavorful.
- Don't over-mix the guacamole: Guacamole is best when it is slightly chunky. Over-mixing will make it smooth and pasty.
Conclusion:
Pomegranate guacamole is a delicious and refreshing dip that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and flavorful snack or appetizer, give pomegranate guacamole a try. You won't be disappointed!
