I followed the recipe exactly, but my guacamole turned out brown. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This guacamole was a bit bland. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it taste good.

I'm not sure I like the combination of pear and pomegranate seeds in guacamole. It's a bit too sweet for my taste.

This guacamole is a great make-ahead appetizer. You can make it a few hours ahead of time and it will still be delicious.
