Pork 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 lime juice, cilantro, scallion greens, garlic-infused olive oil, and a touch of cumin — a combination that's vibrant without being fussy. 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 is naturally free of any pork-derived ingredients, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out — it's just clean, simple produce and pantry staples working together beautifully. Guacamole recipes can sometimes sneak in unexpected add-ins, but every ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify. Serve it straight from the bowl into those cabbage cups with a squeeze of lime, and you've got an appetizer or snack that looks impressive but comes together 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.
