Few things hit the spot like a bowl of freshly made guacamole surrounded by crisp, colorful vegetables. Ripe avocados get mashed with bright lime juice, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic to create a dip that's creamy, zesty, and just the right amount of spicy. The veggie sticks — carrots, celery, cucumber, and red bell pepper — bring crunch and freshness that balance the richness of the avocado perfectly. Everything here is whole, plant-based, and completely free of meat or animal byproducts, so it works beautifully as a snack, starter, or party spread without any substitutions needed. Making guacamole from scratch also means you control exactly what goes in — no mystery additives or preservatives like you'd find in store-bought versions. Serve it immediately for the best color and flavor, and don't be surprised when the bowl disappears faster than you expected.

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.
