Instructions

Step 1

1. With a spoon, scoop the avocado flesh into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the lime juice, garlic and salt.

Step 2

Mash the ingredients together with a large fork or potato masher until the avocado is nice and creamy.

Step 3

2. To ensure that the onion flavor doesn't overpower the guacamole, rinse the chopped onion under running water (I used a fine mesh colander). Pat the onion dry with a paper towel.

Step 4

3. Add the onion, chopped cilantro and jalapeño to the bowl and mix well. Gently stir in ½ of the pomegranate arils. For extra presentation points, transfer the guacamole to an appropriately sized serving bowl now.

Step 5

Sprinkle remaining pomegranate arils over guacamole, along with some additional chopped cilantro. Serve right away and enjoy!
