  • Add 2 ripe avocados, cut into 1/4-inch pieces, 3/4 cup halved cranberries, drained well on paper towels, and 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper; toss gently to combine. Serve with Pita Crisps or tortilla chips, as desired.

Cook's Notes

To make pita crisps: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Split 2 pitas in half horizontally. Brush both sides with 3 tablespoons olive oil; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Cut into triangles; spread on a baking sheet. Bake, turning once, until crisp, 10 minutes.

Martha, Martha...a friend of a friend just offered a taste of this guac for a party he’s attending, and I was blown away! It’s not cranberry season in our parts, so he used frozen ones—it was still delish! Surely he could win the guac cook off at the party! Ta-ta!

This is so festive and delicious! I didn't blanch the cranberries and love the crunch they add. This was easy and will be a staple in my house!

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Definitely a crowd favorite. I recommend blanching the cranberries before adding them to the salsa, fresh cranberries are a little crispy it's nice to soften them up.

I make this every year for my Christmas Party - I use green avocado tortilla chips to be festive - I have to triple the recipe because it's SO popular. Everyone raves!
