Paleo Classic Guacamole

Total time10 min

Prep time10 min

Cook time0 min

Ripe Hass avocados get mashed to a chunky, creamy texture with a bright hit of fresh lime juice, then folded with finely diced red onion, minced jalapeño, and a scattering of fresh cilantro for real depth of flavor. A touch of garlic and a pinch of cumin round things out without overpowering the avocado's natural richness. This comes together in minutes with a fork and a bowl, no cooking required, and it's the kind of simple, whole-food dish that fits naturally into a Paleo spread. Scoop it up with sliced veggies or your favorite Paleo-friendly dippers, or spoon it over grilled meats and eggs for an easy, creamy finishing touch. It's fresh, punchy, and endlessly versatile — a guacamole you'll want to make on repeat.
