Sheri's Pomegranate Avocado Salsa



We love this salsa. Made with pomegranates and avocados, it not only has great flavor combinations, but looks really festive for the holidays. It takes about 5 minutes to put together (if you buy the pomegranates seeded, thank you Costco).  I made this twice last week and it was a hit both times.
Christmas is coming.
Is your goose getting fat?


Sheri's Pomegranate Salsa
print recipe

1-2 pomegranates seeded* or about 1 1/2 cups (see note about purchasing pre-seeded pomegranates)
2 tomatoes diced (or about  1 1/2 cups)
2 avocados diced
1 bunch green onions chopped (mostly the tops and a few stems),
or red onion chopped 1/2 cup
1 teaspoon coriander
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
juice of 1 lime, optional
chopped cilantro, optional

Place all ingredients in medium sized bowl. 
Mix together gently.  Let sit at room temperature before serving.
Best served with large Fritos.

Tips:
-*Pomegranates may be purchased pre-seeded at Costco in a two pack.  Each container holds about 1 1/2 cups of pomegranate seeds. I used one package, or one half of the Costco container (227g  for this recipe). 
-I halved the original recipe, this recipe serves about 4-6 hungry people or 12 polite people. 
-The recipe calls for letting the salsa sit for several hours at room temperature, I made this both times and we ate it up immediately after. 
-If you want the salsa to look like the photo attached, make sure to GENTLY mix the salsa.
