Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole hits every note — rich avocado, zippy lime, a little heat from jalapeño, and the herby lift of cilantro all coming together in one bowl. The beauty of making it from scratch is that you control every single ingredient, so there's no guessing about hidden fillers or additives that sometimes sneak into store-bought versions. Mashing the avocado to your preferred texture — whether chunky or silky smooth — makes it feel genuinely homemade every time. Paired with crisp carrot, celery, cucumber, and red bell pepper sticks, this spread is as colorful as it is satisfying. The veggie sticks do double duty as the perfect natural scoop, keeping everything wholesome and entirely plant-based without any compromise on crunch or flavor. It's the kind of snack platter that disappears fast at a party but is just as good for a quiet afternoon at home.

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.
