Brazil Nut Free Cabbage Cup Guacamole
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 whisper of cumin — a combination that's simple but genuinely delicious. Instead of chips, crisp green cabbage leaves stand in as the vessel, giving every bite a satisfying crunch and keeping things light and fresh. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with no cooking required, which means less cleanup and more time enjoying the results. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nut concerns, so there's no label-scanning stress — just good, clean food. Serve it straight away with lime wedges for an extra hit of citrus, and don't be surprised when people ask you to make it again.

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.
