Chestnut Free Guacamole and Veggie Sticks
Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole hits every note you want from a crowd-pleasing dip. Ripe avocados get mashed with lime juice, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic for a bold, layered result that tastes far better than anything from a plastic tub. The veggie sticks — crisp carrots, celery, cucumber, and sweet red bell pepper — make the perfect vehicle for scooping, and they keep things light without sacrificing any satisfaction. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or cross-contamination anxiety to deal with. It's the kind of snack or starter that works for a casual weeknight just as well as it does for a party spread. Mash it chunky or go smooth — either way, this one disappears fast.
