Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole hits every note you want from a great dip — rich avocado, zippy lime, a little heat from jalapeño, and the freshness of cilantro and red onion all working together. The veggie sticks bring satisfying crunch and color to the platter, making the whole spread feel as good to look at as it is to eat. Warm spices like nutmeg have no business here anyway, and every single ingredient is clean, simple, and easy to verify at a glance — no label-reading required. Mashing the avocado to your preferred texture is one of those small kitchen decisions that makes the recipe feel personal, whether you like it chunky or silky smooth. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a fork and a cutting board, which means less cleanup and more snacking. This is the kind of crowd-pleasing appetizer or afternoon snack that disappears fast, so you might want to make a double batch.

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.
