I promised a birthday friend yesterday (Hi Lareesa!) that I'd post my newfound Pomegranate Salsa recipe for her birthday. It's a bit belated, but I'm sure her pomegranates haven't gone bad yet. I should just call it Birthday Pomegranate Salsa because my friend Thira made this pomegranate salsa for my birthday. (She brought it to a picnic we had with friends out on the grass by the lighthouse. It was so wonderful!) Thira had heard me talk about how pomegranates are my very favorite food and she told me I needed to try her recipe. Well, I loved it! I probably ate 1/2 of it that day! I finally bought all the stuff I needed and made it the other day and once again, tasty and heavenly!
I will admit to trying to just mix pomegranate seeds with the salsa I already had (which is my favorite fresh salsa from where I used to live -- Casa Lindra. I wish they sold it everywhere, but you can only get it within about 100 miles of Humboldt County. I have friends bring it to me when they visit). But it wasn't spectacular with the pomegranate thrown in. I needed to make Thira's recipe.
When I ate it the first time, I had some tortilla chips, but these last few days, I've just been eating it with carrots. The salsa is not blended up at all, just mixed, so it's harder to dip veggies in. So I just broke my carrots into bitesize pieces and threw them in and ate it with a spoon. Tasted great!
Try it yourself and let me know how you like it!
Pomegranate Salsa
Pomegranate seeds, extracted (either 2 small or 1 very large)
2 avocados sliced into small chunks
2-3 diced tomatoes (she said 2, I ended up using another one)

juice from 1 lemon
1/2 bunch of cilantro, chopped
1 t. coriander

1/2 t. cayenne pepper
Mix all together. Enjoy!
