High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Paleo Guacamole Veggie Cups
Creamy, vibrant, and built entirely from whole ingredients, this guacamole is the kind of crowd-pleaser that disappears fast at any gathering. Ripe avocados get mashed with fresh lime juice, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and diced Roma tomato — nothing processed, nothing hidden, just bold and bright flavor in every bite. The genius move here is swapping chips or crackers for bell pepper strips and hollowed cucumber rounds, which keeps everything crisp, fresh, and completely free of the sneaky sweeteners that show up in so many store-bought dips and packaged snack vehicles. Scooping a shallow well into each cucumber round gives you a tidy little vessel that holds the guacamole beautifully without falling apart. It's the kind of appetizer that looks impressive on a platter but comes together with minimal effort and zero fuss. Whether you're feeding a crowd or just snacking solo, these veggie cups deliver serious satisfaction without a single ingredient you'd need to second-guess.

Prepare the veggie cups: cut the bell peppers into roughly 2-inch wide strips or rings, and slice the cucumber into 1-inch thick rounds. Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop a shallow well into the center of each cucumber round, leaving the base intact. Arrange all the veggie pieces on a serving platter.

Place the avocado flesh in a mixing bowl and add the lime juice and salt. Mash with a fork to your preferred texture — leave it chunky for more body, or mash until mostly smooth.
