I made this dip for two subsequent gatherings, and both groups loved it. One person said the dip made her list of the “best things I’ve ever eaten.” High praise for a humble pomegranate dip. Hope you like it too. Enjoy!

  1. Seriously loved this so much! (and I’m not a big pomegranate fan) The flavor is so good – all the ingredients combine to make magic!

  2. This dip is to die for! How great to have a recipe with all the ingredients coming into season at the same time here in the low desert. Sweet and spicy come together nicely here.

    1. Possibly, the texture might change some, but I imagine it would still be delicious. Please let me know if you tried it, how it went.
