  • ½ cup pomegranate seeds

GARNISH

  • ¼ cup pomegranate seeds

Instructions

  • Puree onion, chiles and salt in a spice grinder or mash to a paste using a mortar and pestle.

  • Stir in lime juice to taste.

  • Pile high in a serving dish and sprinkle with additional pomegranate seeds.

Notes

Get the martini glass! Another idea is to cover a pedestal tray with a cloth napkin and set a wide glass bowl filled with guacamole on top of it.
