Inspired Avocado Guacamole W. Pomegranate & Pears

"This recipe originates from Gourmet & is really something special. I serve this every year for Rosh Hashana as an appetiser along with my challahs as pomegranate seeds are symbolically very significant. Very different from what you may be used to but oh so delicious!(prep time includes 1 hour in frig.)"

  1. This is delicious and looks colourful. I did use the red Tabasco sauce dribbled through out since I did not have serrano chilies. Wonderful spicy complement to the sweet pomegranate seeds. In fact I won't add grapes another time and it really doesn't need the pear either. I used sea salt for the salt. Served with rice crackers. I would make this again.
     
  2. I was a bit hesitant with this recipe, but had a pomegranate that needed to be used. The pears, grapes and pomegranates are excellent compliments to the heat of the chilies. This is a wonderful dip that will be repeated in my house.
