Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup pomegranate arils
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 whole jalapeño pepper
- 1 whole lime
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by gathering all the ingredients and preparing the components. De-seed the pomegranate to gather 1 cup of arils.
Finely chop the fresh cilantro to equal 2 tablespoons.
Dice a quarter cup of red onion for mild sweetness and crunch.
Finely dice 1 jalapeño pepper. Remove seeds and ribs for less spice, or keep some seeds for an extra kick.
Juice the lime into a small bowl to collect about 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.
In a medium bowl, combine the pomegranate arils, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and jalapeño.
Add the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lime juice to balance flavors to your liking.
Let the salsa sit for about 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve immediately with tortilla chips, or as a topping for tacos, grilled fish, or chicken.
