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

Directions

Step 1

Start by gathering all the ingredients and preparing the components. De-seed the pomegranate to gather 1 cup of arils.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh cilantro to equal 2 tablespoons.

Step 3

Dice a quarter cup of red onion for mild sweetness and crunch.

Step 4

Finely dice 1 jalapeño pepper. Remove seeds and ribs for less spice, or keep some seeds for an extra kick.

Step 5

Juice the lime into a small bowl to collect about 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, combine the pomegranate arils, chopped cilantro, diced red onion, and jalapeño.

Step 7

Add the lime juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper to the mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lime juice to balance flavors to your liking.

Step 9

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.
