Cinnamon Free No-Cook Guacamole
Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole comes together in minutes with nothing more than a fork and a bowl. Ripe avocados get mashed to your preferred texture — chunky and rustic or silky smooth — then lifted with a generous squeeze of lime juice and folded with red onion, jalapeño, and fresh cilantro. It's the kind of recipe that proves simple ingredients, handled well, can absolutely steal the show at any table. Avoiding cinnamon is genuinely easy here since every component is a whole, savory ingredient with zero hidden spice blends to second-guess. The optional cumin adds a subtle earthiness, but the recipe works beautifully without it if you prefer to keep things even more stripped back. A final taste and adjust for salt and lime is all it takes before you're ready to serve — no cooking, no waiting, no fuss.
