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 like it took way more effort than it actually did. The veggie sticks — crisp carrots, celery, cucumber, and red bell pepper — make the perfect scoop-ready vehicle without a chip or cracker in sight. For anyone navigating legume-free eating, store-bought dips and snack platters can be a minefield of hidden bean flours or pea protein, so having a go-to recipe this clean and simple is genuinely useful. Everything here is whole, recognizable, and naturally free of legumes from start to finish — no substitutions needed. It comes together in minutes and looks gorgeous on a platter, making it just as at home at a casual weeknight snack as it is at a party spread.

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.
