I came up with this Mango Pomegranate Guacamole Dip recipe to bring on a weekend trip to Santa Cruz, a lovely small beach town in Northern California. Even though it is Fall and it is starting to cool down in most other places, in the San Francisco Bay Area, we are in full blown Indian Summer. It has been in the mid 80’s all week which is a bit unusual for here, and I have had to run my air conditioner all week in my office! While the rest of the nation is gearing up for Fall with pumpkin and soup recipes, we are still eating ice cream (dairy-free and sugar-free, of course, check out my recipes here).
I love to eat healthy and follow the Paleo diet even I travel so I always make sure I am prepared with healthy dishes like this, in addition to this mango pomegranate guacamole dip, I also brought a bunch of cut up vegetables, pears, kale chips, roasted seaweed, turkey jerky, thai lime and chili cashews, and Kind bars.
