Guacamole with Pomegranate

Guacamole is one of favorite things. It can be made a million different ways. I am honestly not sure that I ever make it exactly the same. I have seen all sorts of fun additions to guac and thought I would give one a try today. I just made a basic guac and added in some pomegranate seeds. The pomegranate adds a little bit of sweetness and crunch. Yum!

I forgot to put the jalapeno in my picture…oops! I used frozen pomegranate seeds. You can see they are still thawing out.

Mash everything together except the pomegranate. Stir in the seeds once everything else is well mixed.
