Pomegranate Guacamole

Much to my husbands chagrin, guacamole is one of my favorite snacks. I will eat just about any kind of "guac," but this one is a particular favorite.

This recipe is a little different because it incorporates the tangy sweetness of pomegranate seeds to compliment the creamy richness of the avocados. This is so good, I could eat a whole bowl by myself... in about 10 minutes.

• 2 large, ripe avocados, peeled and pitted
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• The arils (seeds) of one pomegranate (click here to find out an easy way to get the arils out of a pomegranate)
• 1/2 cup cucumber, peeled and chopped
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

1. Mash avocados in a large bowl with a fork.

2. Mix lemon juice into mashed avocado.

3. Add 1/3 cup pomegranate arils, cucmber, green onions, and cilantro.

4. Salt and pepper to taste.

5. Scoop guacamole into a serving bowl and top with the remaining pomegranate seeds as a garnish.

6. Serve with tortilla chips.
