Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s everything you need to make this simple and satisfying guac:

How to Make The Best Guacamole (Step-by-Step)
This recipe comes together fast—just mash, mix, and serve!
- Prep the avocados: Halve, pit, and scoop the avocados into a medium bowl. Add the lime juice and mash until you reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).
- Mix it up: Stir in the red onion, cherry tomatoes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Fold in the pomegranate: Gently stir in the pomegranate seeds. Be careful not to mash them—those little bursts of flavor are magic!
- Taste & adjust: Add more salt, lime, or pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
How to Serve Pomegranate Guacamole
This guacamole is versatile and pairs with just about everything:
- Tortilla chips or pita chips
- Fresh veggies like cucumber, bell peppers, and carrots
- On tacos, burritos, or grain bowls
- As a spread on toast or sandwiches
- With grilled meats or as a burger topping
Tips
- Use ripe avocados – They should give slightly when pressed but not feel mushy.
- Add pomegranate seeds last – To keep their shape and texture.
- Let it rest – Let the guacamole sit for 5–10 minutes before serving to let the flavors develop.
- Want a kick? Add a diced jalapeño for some heat.
Storing Leftovers
Guacamole is best fresh, but you can store leftovers with a few tricks:
- Transfer to an airtight container and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning. I love these glass storage containers.
- Store in the fridge for up to 1–2 days.
- Stir before serving, and add a little extra lime juice if it looks dull.
