Mark and I went to a party recently where someone had made this pomegranate-avocado salsa. By now you know I love appetizers and this one is by far the best one ever! As the guests stood around munching on this yummy bowl of salsa with several different types of chips, we all asked for the recipe.

By the time we had all finished the appetizers, salads, main dish, and dessert, we all wrote down the ingredients to make this pomegranate- avocado salsa. It was fabulous! Who loves pomegranates? I sure do, especially if they are red, sweet, and juicy.

Pomegranate-Avocado Salsa

This salsa has pretty much all fresh ingredients. I did trade out the fresh small oranges for some Mandarin oranges I had in the pantry. It has fresh pomegranates, avocado, green onions, freshly squeezed limes, honey, and, cilantro, and some salt. I seeded the one jalapeno and chopped it.

I had Mark help me chop the green onions and cilantro. It’s a really easy recipe to throw together.

We drained the oranges a little and started adding the ingredients to this medium-sized bowl. You could smell the cilantro of course, and luckily these pomegranates were sweet and juicy.

There is something about making appetizers for family and friends get-togethers. It breaks the ice so people can start mingling and chatting with one another, right?

I’m so excited to be able to pick my own pomegranates next year, our friends gave us a bush, yippee! It’s about four feet tall now and is growing like a weed, literally. They grow well in Southern Utah!
