Walnut Free Paleo Everything-Spiced Guacamole Veggie Cups
Creamy, citrusy guacamole gets a serious upgrade here, finished with a homemade everything spice blend that brings toasty sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and savory dried garlic and onion to every single bite. Instead of chips, fresh bell pepper strips and hollowed-out cucumber rounds do the scooping — which keeps things light, crunchy, and completely grain-free. The whole spread comes together with ripe avocados, fresh lime juice, jalapeño, red onion, and cilantro, so the ingredient list is clean and straightforward with zero mystery additives to worry about. That homemade spice blend is the real star — mixing it yourself means you know exactly what's in it, no hidden fillers or shared-facility concerns. These little cups are as pretty as they are delicious, making them just as at home on a party platter as they are for a casual afternoon snack. Serve them immediately after assembling so the veggies stay crisp and the guacamole stays bright and fresh.
