I’ve committed guacamole blasphemy and I’m not even sorry. I just couldn’t help myself after that pomegranate, feta and avocado toast last week. It’s festive, right? And delicious, too—creamy, classic guacamole contrasts surprisingly well with sweet, juicy, ruby red pomegranate arils. If you really want to mess with a classic, try adding some feta on top of this pomegranate guac. I love it with feta and without, but I thought I’d leave the cheese out this time and present it as a party option that everyone can enjoy. It’s dairy free/vegan, gluten free, nut free, soy free, tomato free… and I suppose it could be cilantro free if you have any cilantro haters in the house. I am not one of them.

This guacamole has been my go-to snack over a busy weekend. I’ve been working my way through some serious post-travel, oh-hey-there-holidays overwhelm, but I have a few more wholesome party snacks to share this week. I know I’m not the only one who’s feeling swamped, so let me know if there’s a particular kind of recipe you’re looking for! I’d be glad to help.

P.s. Here’s a roundup of my favorite Mexican recipes!
