Holiday Guacamole
Yield: 8 servings
Made with pomegranate seeds, pears, and grapes, this easy Holiday Guacamole is a quick and festive appetizer. Serve with crunchy tortilla chips!
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup finely chopped white onion
- 1 to 2 tablespoons seeded and minced serrano chiles
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon cumin
- 4 large avocados - peeled pitted, and chopped
- 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- ¾ cup peeled cored, and finely diced pear - be sure to only use a ripe pear with soft flesh
- ¾ cup quartered seedless green grapes
- ¾ cup pomegranate seeds plus a bit more for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the onion, chiles, salt, and cumin. Add the avocados and lime juice, and gently fold a few times to incorporate. You want the avocados to remain chunky. Then fold in the pear, grapes, and pomegranate.
