A fresh and flavorful twist on classic guacamole featuring creamy avocado, sweet pomegranate seeds, spicy jalapeno, and tangy feta cheese. Perfect for parties or a quick snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe Hass avocados
  • ½ cup fresh pomegranate seeds
  • 1 small jalapeno, finely diced
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
  2. Pour in the lime juice immediately after mashing to brighten flavor and prevent browning. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Add the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro. Stir to distribute evenly without overmixing.
  4. Add the diced jalapeno, adjusting seeds for preferred heat level. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Fold in the pomegranate seeds and crumbled feta cheese carefully just before serving to maintain texture.
  7. Give one last gentle stir, transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with extra pomegranate seeds and cilantro if desired.

Notes

Use ripe but firm avocados to avoid watery guacamole. Fold in pomegranate and feta gently to keep texture intact. Adjust jalapeno seeds to control heat. Prepare base ahead but add pomegranate and feta just before serving for freshness. Store leftovers with plastic wrap pressed on surface and consume within 24 hours.
