Mango-Pom Guac - Slice of Jess

WHAT MAKES THIS GUACAMOLE SO FUN IS THE

POMEGRANATE SEEDS. 

The little beads pop in your mouth and it’s like a little heavenly surprise that pairs nicely with the Avocado and Mango duo.

LET’S JUST SAY… THIS IS THE

THREE’S COMPANY

OF THE FRUIT WORLD. 😉

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3 ripe Avocados, roughly chopped
  • Juice of 1 Lime
  • 1/4 Sweet White Onion, minced
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 Jalapeno, seeded & minced {you can use a whole one if you want your Guac spicier}
  • 1/2 cup Cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup Pomegranate Seeds + more for presentaiton
  • 1 Mango, chopped {save a few chunks for presentation}
  • Salt to taste {I used 1 tsp. + a little extra to taste}
  • Plantain Chips {for serving}

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Prepare and chop all of the fruits, vegetables and herbs according to above preferences.
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl {except for the extra Pom Seeds & Mango} and allow to marry in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. {NOTE: Technically, you can serve this dip right away, but Guacamole tastes SO MUCH BETTER if you let the flavors mingle for 1-2 hours before serving.}
  3. When you’re ready to serve, transfer the dip to a serving bowl and top with extra Pom Seeds and Mango. Serve with Plantain Chips. {You can serve with Tortilla Chips as well but I find that the Plantain Chips add an extra touch of Exotic-ness.}
