Mediterranean Guacamole

Lets make some Guac, but make it Mediterranean. 🥑

This is one of my favorite dips, but we’re loading it up with bold Mediterranean flavors—crispy chickpeas, pomegranate, feta, olives, walnuts, and fresh herbs. The key? Cold avocados. Trust me, chilling your avocados and veggies beforehand makes all the difference.

Here is how to make it:

1️⃣ Start with cold ingredients. Store avocados and veggies in the fridge for at least 2 hours before making this.
2️⃣ Prep the mix-ins. Finely dice 1/2 a red onion, 1 jalapeño (remove seeds for less heat if you want), and 1/3 cup fresh
cilantro. Mince 2 garlic cloves.
3️⃣ Mash the guac. Cut 3 avocados, remove the pit and skin, and mash with juice of 1 lime, 1/2 tsp Aleppo pepper, and 2 generous pinches of salt. Mash or chop. Keep it chunky or smooth—your call.
4️⃣ Make the crispy chickpeas. Toss 1 can of drained chickpeas with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and ½ tsp garlic powder on a sheet pan. Roast at 400°F for 28-30 mins until crispy.
5️⃣ Load it up. Add the crispy chickpeas, 2 tbsp crumbled feta, 1/3 cup pomegranate seeds, 2-3 tbsp crushed toasted walnuts, 2-3 tbsp finely diced olives, a handful of fresh mint, and a drizzle of GOOD olive oil.

This would be perfect with your favorite vessel of choice (chips, crackers, veggies), as a sandwich spread, or crowned over any protein.

if you want to add a Mediterranean spin to one of the most iconic dips and spreads combine diced red onion jalapeno cilantro garlic and a few good-looking avocado squeeze in some lime juice then mash or chop it up using a knife add it to your favorite serving dish top with some chickpeas feta fresh mint black olives some toasted walnuts and pomegranate this is so easy to make and it’s so good full recipe is in the caption check it out
