Treat your ingredients with care...

• Avocado — Choose ripe avocados that yield to gentle pressure when squeezed. To prevent browning, squeeze some lime juice over the exposed avocado flesh and cover tightly with plastic wrap.
• Mango — Look for a ripe mango with a sweet aroma and slightly soft texture. Peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the pit before dicing.
• Pomegranate seeds — To easily remove the seeds, cut the pomegranate in half and gently tap the back of each half with a wooden spoon over a bowl.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra burst of flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the guacamole.
• To make it more visually appealing, reserve a few pomegranate seeds, mint leaves, and basil leaves to garnish the guacamole before serving.
• Serve the guacamole with crispy tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable crudités.

Serving advice

Serve the Nouvelle Guacamole in small individual bowls or as a colorful dip on a platter. Garnish with reserved pomegranate seeds, mint leaves, and basil leaves for an elegant presentation.

Presentation advice

Arrange the guacamole and its accompaniments on a white platter to showcase the vibrant colors. Use small decorative bowls or spoons for serving to add a touch of elegance to the presentation.
