The ancient pomegranate is by far one of my favorite fruits! Cutting and deseeding one can be a tedious process for some, but for me it is a labor of love. Street vendors throughout Mexico sell the seeds by the cupful with fresh lime juice and chile salt. Cultural traditions hold that pomegranates symbolize prosperity and abundance, so I encourage you to crack one open and experience all that this special fruit has to offer to kick off the New Year!
Ingredients:
1 large pomegranate
1 lime (I prefer Mexican or key limes)
½ teaspoon chile salt (or to taste)
Preparation:
- Cut and deseed pomegranate. I found this how-to video on the Muy Bueno blog very helpful in showing how to do this and avoid making a mess!
- Squeeze lime juice evenly over pomegranates and mix well.
- Sprinkle with chile salt and enjoy!

Looks delish!! Can’t wait to start my labor of love.
Thanks, Mom. This recipe reminded me of the man who sold pomegranates right outside of our hotel in Guadalajara!
