Alpha Gal Friendly No-Cook Guacamole
Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole comes together in minutes without turning on a single burner. Ripe avocados get mashed to your preferred texture — chunky and rustic or smooth and scoopable — then lifted with lime juice, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro for that perfect balance of richness and zing. For anyone navigating alpha-gal syndrome, dips and condiments can be surprisingly tricky territory, since many store-bought versions sneak in mammalian-derived additives or are processed on shared lines. This recipe keeps things completely clean: every ingredient is plant-based and straightforward, so there's nothing to second-guess. The optional cumin adds a subtle earthy warmth, and diced roma tomato brings a little sweetness if you're feeling it. It's the kind of recipe you'll make on repeat for game days, taco nights, or honestly just as an excuse to eat something delicious with chips.
