Ingredients

4 large ripe avocados
1 Sumo Citrus, peeled and finely diced
1 cup pomegranate arils (divided)
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 large red onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2-1 tsp pink salt
Pinch of black pepper
1 Tbsp Sumo Citrus juice
Juice of 1 1/2 limes
1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed and finely diced

Instructions

Step 1: Mash the avocados with lime juice, Sumo Citrus juice, salt, and black pepper using a fork or masher until you reach your preferred consistency.
Step 2: Stir in the diced Sumo Citrus (reserve some pieces for garnish), 3/4 cup of pomegranate arils, jalapeño, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and red onion until evenly combined.
Step 3: Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining pomegranate arils, extra Sumo Citrus pieces, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
Step 4: Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.

Tips & Variations

For a milder guacamole, reduce the amount of jalapeño or omit the seeds completely.
Add a dash of cumin or smoked paprika for an extra layer of flavor.
Use regular oranges if Sumo Citrus isn’t available; blood oranges can add a beautiful color and tang.

Storage

Store any leftover guacamole in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 1 day but is best enjoyed fresh. To reheat, simply let it come to room temperature and stir gently.

FAQs

Can I prepare this guacamole in advance?

It’s best to make this guacamole just before serving to keep the vibrant colors and fresh flavors. If prepping ahead, store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to one day.

What can I use instead of Sumo Citrus?

If you can’t find Sumo Citrus, substitute with another sweet, juicy citrus like navel orange or mandarin. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
