Ingredients

Scale

Guacamole Base

  • 1 package pre-made guacamole

Garnish

  • 9 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate seeds


Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all ingredients—pre-made guacamole, cherry tomatoes, parsley, and pomegranate seeds—to ensure an efficient preparation process.
  2. Prepare Serving Bowl: Place a smaller bowl in the center of your serving bowl. This will create a decorative cavity to shape the guacamole around and hold the garnish.
  3. Assemble Guacamole: Spoon the pre-made guacamole evenly around the smaller bowl, forming a ring that acts as the base layer for the garnishes.
  4. Add Garnishes: Evenly arrange the cherry tomatoes, sprinkle parsley, and scatter pomegranate seeds over the guacamole to create a festive, colorful appearance.
  5. Finalize Presentation: Carefully remove the smaller bowl from the center to reveal a beautiful hollow filled by the surrounding guacamole and decorative toppings.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Present your Christmas guacamole immediately to guests as a flavorful and eye-catching holiday appetizer.
