Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole is the kind of dip that disappears fast no matter who's at the table. Ripe avocados get mashed with lime juice, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic for a bold, well-balanced bowl that needs absolutely nothing else. Many store-bought dips and seasoning blends sneak in unexpected spices, so making it from scratch like this means you stay in full control of every ingredient. The colorful spread of carrot, celery, cucumber, and red bell pepper strips makes it feel like a proper snack spread rather than an afterthought. Each veggie brings its own texture — crunch from the carrots, cool freshness from the cucumber, a little sweetness from the bell pepper — so every scoop is a little different. It comes together in minutes and looks genuinely impressive on a platter, which makes it just as at home at a party as it is for a quiet 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.
