Pork Free Paleo Everything-Spiced Guacamole Veggie Cups
Creamy, citrusy guacamole gets a bold upgrade here with a homemade everything spice blend — toasted sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and onion — sprinkled right over the top for crunch and serious flavor in every bite. Instead of chips, fresh bell pepper strips and hollowed-out cucumber rounds do all the scooping, making this a naturally light, vibrant appetizer or snack that looks stunning on a board. Every single ingredient is whole and plant-based, so there's nothing to second-guess when it comes to unwanted additives or hidden animal products. The jalapeño, red onion, and fresh cilantro folded into the mash give it that classic guacamole punch, while the lime juice keeps everything bright and balanced. It comes together in just a few simple steps — mix, scoop, sprinkle, serve — which means less time in the kitchen and more time impressing whoever shows up at the table. This is the kind of crowd-pleasing recipe that works just as well for a casual weeknight snack as it does for a party spread.
