Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole is the kind of crowd-pleaser that disappears fast at any gathering. Ripe avocados get mashed with fresh lime juice, cilantro, scallion greens, a touch of garlic-infused olive oil, and a hint of cumin — a combination that's simple but genuinely delicious. Serving it in crisp green cabbage cups instead of chips makes every bite feel a little lighter and a lot more fun, with the cool crunch of the cabbage playing perfectly against the rich, velvety guac. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved — just straightforward, whole-food cooking. It's also a great option for guests with multiple dietary needs, since the recipe skips common allergens without sacrificing any of the flavor. Make it right before serving so the avocado stays vibrant and fresh, and don't skip the extra squeeze of lime at the end.

Ingredients

4 servings

For the guacamole

3 ripe avocados
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
3 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 tbsp scallion greens (green tops only), thinly sliced
1 tsp garlic-infused olive oil
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp sea salt, or to taste

For serving

1 small head green cabbage, outer leaves separated into cups
1 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish (optional)
lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Separate 8–12 large, cup-shaped outer leaves from the cabbage head, rinse them under cold water, and pat dry. Arrange on a serving platter and set aside.
2
Place the avocado flesh in a medium mixing bowl. Add the lime juice immediately to prevent browning, then mash with a fork or potato masher to your preferred texture — chunky with visible avocado pieces, or smoother with just a few lumps remaining.
