Cinnamon 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 to your preferred texture — whether you like it chunky or silky smooth — then folded with fresh lime juice, cilantro, scallion greens, and a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil for a savory depth that feels anything but basic. The ground cumin adds just enough warmth without leaning on any spice blends that might sneak in unwanted ingredients, making this a genuinely safe and satisfying option for anyone navigating cinnamon sensitivities. Serving it in crisp cabbage cups is a clever move that keeps things light and naturally gluten-free while giving every scoop a satisfying crunch. It's a refreshing alternative to chips and works beautifully as an appetizer, snack, or party spread. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with no cooking required, so you can have it on the table in minutes.

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.
