Serve this up at your next holiday party for a simple, yet stunning appetizer!
I could eat guacamole by the spoonful. Chances are, if you are an avocado fan, you could too. I love adding fruit and veggies to my guacamole for a flavor twist and to get more nutritional bang for my buck with each bite.

The Perfect Holiday Party Appetizer
Combine this festive green and red combo with roasted sweet potato toasts and be prepared to be amazed. I’ve made this fun appetizer for several holiday parties and everyone seems to congregate around the pomegranate guacamole no matter what else is included in the spread. People can’t believe how good the combination tastes!
The roasted sweet potato toasts are a healthy swap for chips and make for a perfectly portioned individual appetizer.
When making this recipe for a party, you can make it ahead of time by mixing up the guacamole in a bowl, then covering with plastic wrap while pushing the wrap down onto the guacamole to remove any air (which is what turns guacamole brown).
