This was great - we both loved it - served it with scoops and some soft goat cheese. Yummy.

If you ever have this combo of ingredients again, go for it

Ingredients

• 8 servings
• 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice (from 1 lime)
• 1 tsp. kosher or sea salt
• 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 4 - 6 blood oranges
• 1 pomegranate
• 1 large Hass avocado , halved, pitted, peeled, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2/3 cup diced red onion
• 1 jalapeno chili , seeds and ribs removed, minced
• 2 green onions , including green tops, cut on the diagonal into thin slices
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Preparation

Step 1

* In a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, salt, and pepper until salt dissolves.

* Cut oranges into supremes, reserving any juice that's squeezed out in the process. Drain juice into a measuring cup and set aside. Cut orange segments into 1/2-inch pieces and add to bowl containing lime juice. Add the pomegranite seeds.

* Add the avocado, red onion, jalapeño, green onion, and cilantro to the bowl. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the ingredients together, being careful to not mash the avocados. Add reserved orange juice, 1 tablespoon at a time, until salsa is moist but not soupy. Taste and adjust seasoning.

* Set aside for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. Serve at room temperature with tortilla chips.
