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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Guacamole Ingredients

  • 4 large ripe avocados
  • 1 Sumo Citrus, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 cup pomegranate arils (divided)
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 large red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/21 tsp pink salt
  • Pinch of black pepper
  • 1 Tbsp Sumo Citrus juice
  • Juice of 1 1/2 limes
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeds removed, finely diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the avocado base: Mash the 4 ripe avocados with the juice of 1 1/2 limes, 1 tablespoon of Sumo Citrus juice, pink salt (start with 1/2 tsp and adjust to taste), and a pinch of black pepper using a fork or masher until you achieve your preferred consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
  2. Incorporate fresh ingredients: Gently fold in the finely diced Sumo Citrus, reserving a few pieces for garnish, 3/4 cup of the pomegranate arils, finely diced jalapeño (with seeds removed for less heat), chopped cilantro, minced garlic, and finely chopped red onion to the avocado mixture. Stir well to combine all flavors evenly.
  3. Garnish and serve: Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. Top with the remaining pomegranate arils, the reserved diced Sumo Citrus pieces, and additional cilantro for a colorful and fresh presentation.
  4. Serving suggestion: Serve immediately with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • For milder guacamole, reduce or omit the jalapeño pepper.
  • If you prefer a smoother consistency, mash the avocados longer before folding in other ingredients.
  • Sumo Citrus is a seasonal fruit; if unavailable, substitute with a sweet orange or tangerine, though this may change the flavor profile slightly.
  • Prepare this guacamole fresh just before serving to maintain the vibrant colors and texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface to prevent browning, refrigerated for up to 1 day.
