Creamy, citrusy guacamole meets a homemade everything spice blend in this vibrant, crowd-pleasing appetizer that's as fun to look at as it is to eat. Ripe avocados are mashed with fresh lime juice, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro, then spooned into crisp bell pepper strips and hollowed-out cucumber rounds for a naturally portable, no-cracker-needed presentation. The everything blend — white and black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, dried onion, and a pinch of flaky sea salt — is mixed from scratch right at home, which is a smart move when you're watching iodine levels and can't always trust store-bought seasoning blends to be free of iodized salt or additives. Fine sea salt and flaky sea salt are used throughout instead of iodized table salt, keeping every component on the safer side without sacrificing flavor. The veggie cups themselves do double duty as both vessel and snack, adding satisfying crunch alongside the rich, herby guacamole. This is the kind of recipe that disappears fast at a party, and nobody will ever guess it was built around a dietary need — it just tastes genuinely, effortlessly good.

In a small bowl, stir together the white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried minced garlic, dried minced onion, and flaky sea salt until evenly combined. Set aside.
Prepare the veggie cups: arrange the bell pepper strips or rings and cucumber rounds on a large serving platter or board. For the cucumber rounds, use a small spoon to scoop out a shallow well in the center of each round, leaving the base intact, to create a small cup for the guacamole.
