Cinnamon Free Guacamole and Veggie Sticks
Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole hits every note you want from a great dip — rich avocado, a squeeze of lime, a little heat from jalapeño, and the freshness of cilantro and red onion all working together. The whole thing comes together in one bowl with nothing more than a fork, making it as easy to pull off as it is satisfying to eat. Paired with crisp carrot, celery, cucumber, and red bell pepper sticks, you get a snack or appetizer that feels genuinely vibrant rather than an afterthought. For anyone navigating spice sensitivities, this recipe is a natural fit — every ingredient is straightforward and whole, with zero hidden blends or seasoning mixes that might sneak in unwanted flavors. The jalapeño brings a clean, direct heat that you can dial back further by simply using less, keeping full control in your hands. It's the kind of recipe that works equally well as a party spread, a quick afternoon snack, or a colorful side at a casual dinner.
