Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large or 4 medium ripe avocados (about 600g), halved, pitted, and scooped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (juice of 1 large lime)
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced (about 40g)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 small jalapeño, seeded and finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils (about 80g)
  • 1/3 cup feta cheese, crumbled (about 50g)
  • Extra cilantro and pomegranate arils for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
  2. Mash the avocados with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some small chunks for texture.
  3. Add lime juice, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeño, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
  4. Fold in the pomegranate arils and crumbled feta cheese with a spatula, being careful not to crush the seeds.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, lime, or jalapeño as desired.
  6. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with extra pomegranate arils, feta crumbles, and cilantro. Optionally, drizzle with olive oil.
  7. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, pita wedges, or veggie sticks. If not serving right away, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate.

Notes

For a milder guac, reduce or omit jalapeño. Soak diced onion in cold water for 5 minutes to mellow its flavor. For dairy-free, use vegan feta or omit cheese. To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the guacamole surface. Guac is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
