Let's Prepare

Gather these ingredients - no prep needed yet.

  • 8 medium ripe avocados
  • 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup pomegranate seeds

Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Cut 8 medium ripe avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a medium bowl. For easier mashing, you can scoop the flesh out with your hands as Maisie does.

  2. Step 2.

    Add 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice and 1½ teaspoons kosher salt to the bowl with the avocado. Mash everything together with a fork or potato masher until the guacamole reaches your desired consistency—some prefer it chunky, others smooth.

  3. Step 3.

    Taste the guacamole and adjust seasoning with additional lime juice and salt as needed. Gently fold in 1 cup pomegranate seeds (from 1 large pomegranate) until evenly distributed.

  4. Step 4.

    Serve immediately, or press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole to prevent browning, then refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Stir before serving if chilled.
