  • 1¼ teaspoons salt, plus more to taste
  • ¾ cup pomegranate seeds (about 1 pomegranate)
  • ¾ cup diced peeled mango
  • ½ cup chopped cilantro

Directions

  1. Halve, pit and peel avocados. Coarsely mash in a bowl.
  2. Stir in onion, chiles, ¼ cup lime juice and 1¼ teaspoons salt.
  3. Fold in pomegranate seeds, mango and cilantro.
  4. Season with salt and additional lime juice. Garnish with lime wedges.
