How would you rate Avocado Cups with Pomegranate Salsa Verde?

  • The salsa is OK and would be good served with grilled fish, but it didn't complement avocados that much. To make the avocados, easier to eat, I peeled them and cut them into eighths. If I prepared the salsa again, I'd substitute pomegranate syrup for the lemon juice and walnut oil for the olive oil.
