Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole pairs perfectly with a rainbow of crisp veggie sticks for a snack that feels indulgent without any of the guilt. Ripe avocados get mashed with fresh lime juice, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic — every ingredient pulling its weight to deliver bold, layered taste. The beauty here is that nothing on the ingredient list sneaks in sweetness, so you can dip freely without second-guessing what's in the bowl. Store-bought dips and salsas are notorious for hiding sweeteners in places you'd never expect, which makes a from-scratch batch like this genuinely refreshing. Carrot sticks, celery, cucumber, and red bell pepper strips bring crunch and color, turning this into a snack spread that looks as good as it tastes. It comes together in minutes and works just as well as a party appetizer as it does a quick afternoon snack.

Ingredients

4 servings

For the guacamole

3 ripe avocados
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
¼ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
2 tbsp red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, seeds removed and finely minced
1 garlic clove, minced

For the veggie sticks

2 medium carrots, cut into sticks
2 medium stalks celery, cut into sticks
1 medium cucumber, cut into sticks
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and cut into strips

Instructions

1
Place the avocado flesh in a medium mixing bowl. Add the lime juice and salt, then mash with a fork to your preferred consistency — chunky with visible avocado pieces, or smoother with just a few lumps remaining.
2
Fold in the cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic until evenly distributed. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
