Black Bean, Pomegranate and Avocado Salsa
Updated January 04, 2020
Black Bean, Pomegranate and Avocado Salsa-this simple and healthy salsa is perfect for holiday parties!
Are you looking for an easy recipe to serve at your holiday gathering this week? I’ve got you covered. Make my Black Bean, Pomegranate, and Avocado Salsa recipe. It only takes 10 minutes tops to make and is always a huge hit!
Chips and salsa are staples at our house, especially when we entertain. I like to mix things up by making different kinds of salsas and for the holidays I always make Black Bean, Pomegranate, and Avocado Salsa.
The ruby red pomegranate jewels add some major bling to the salsa and I love the juicy pop in every bite! And of course I stirred in some avocado. Avocado make everything better and you’ve gotta have some green to go with the red. This salsa is festive!
I LOVE this salsa. It is bursting with flavor! Plus, it’s healthy…well, as long as you don’t eat too many tortilla chips. I always do, but at least I am getting in some good protein and fruit at the same time:)
Make a bowl of Black Bean, Pomegranate, and Avocado Salsa to celebrate the season! It is the perfect party appetizer or snack!
We are taking Wednesday off to celebrate Christmas with our family! My dad is visiting and he is making us his famous Cinnamon Rolls for Christmas brunch. I can’t wait!
Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating! We hope you have a joyous holiday filled with love, laughter, peace…and of course delicious food!

This looks delicious and so pretty. I love pretty much anything with pomegranates in it. But how do you stop the avocado from going brown? And how long does it last?
What a creative combo! Hmmm, I would never in a million years thought of black beans and pomegranate! I love the idea and it’s so festive! I can’t believe Christmas is in two days, crazy! Happy Holidays to you and your family!
This is the most pimped out salsa I have ever seen! It’s so pretty and creative times 1000! My hubby requested appies for Christmas dinner and now I have a great addition..thanks girl!

I just wanted to come back and tell you that I made this and it was a tremendous hit! People couldn’t stop eating it. I saved a little for myself and I’m eating it right now with pita chips. It was so nice to have a very healthy dish that was also so delicious and tempting. This will now be a staple at parties. Thank you SO much!!
Awesome!! Was looking for feedback from someone who tried it! Cant wait!
I love everything about this recipe, oh my gosh! I can just imagine how delicious the combo of crunchy pomegranate seeds and soft avocado and beans is, not to mention how beautiful it looks. I’ve actually featured this recipe (or, well, a link to it) on my blog’s Weekend Wrap-Up, and wanted to stop by to thank you for sharing it with us! I hope you have a Happy & Healthy New Year 🙂
Here’s a link to the wrap-up, if you’re interested:

This is amazing. Made it for a birthday celebration, along with the Roasted Chickpea fajitas. So good – crunchy, juicy, creamy, tart, a little spicy. I devoured the leftovers and I’m already planning to make another batch. It kept well for a couple days with hardly any browning of the avocados. Must be the lime juice…
This was SO GOOD! I made it for Christmas AND for New Year’s Eve, and everyone loved it! Great recipe, thank you!
Our backyard pomegranate bush is a GREAT producer – but a pain because it’s always been a hassle getting those red seeds out of the hull without turning red yourself!!! Well this past Christmas, I found an awesome tool at Sur la Table called The Pomegranate Tool. Removes the seeds in quick order and doesn’t turn your counter into a bloody mess…recommend highly!!! Can’t wait to try this colorful salsa…
Two others that seem too bee missing from a lot of the good for you recipes is: ease and selection:
both of which are offered up in the Hungry Girl cook books.
Go ahead. This time frame accounts for approximately 2,000 generations of humazns since the
great split, during which time modern genetic features developed
independently.
This looks so absolutely delish! I love the flavor combo and know that my guests will as well!
I actually made this salsa for new years eve to bring to a friend’s house. It was a huge hit! I love your recipes please keep them coming!

Thank you & happy holidays! =)
I have made this so many times! The flavors meld together fantastically! Best recipe ever and I get begged from friends and family to make this every time we have a get-together! Thank you for the fabulous recipe!
So glad you like the recipe!
The first time that I made I left out the black beans and avocado and was left with a very refreshing salsa. This is a keeper recipe. So special for the holidays. I may use instead of cranberry sauce on Thanksgiving. Next time I will add the beans and avocado as an appetizer. I am sure it will also be delicious.
