Creamy, zesty, and loaded with fresh flavor, this guacamole is the kind of crowd-pleaser that disappears fast at any gathering. Ripe avocados get mashed with lime juice, jalapeño, red onion, tomato, and cilantro for a vibrant dip that tastes like it took way more effort than it actually did. Instead of chips, the guacamole gets spooned into crisp bell pepper strips and hollowed cucumber rounds, turning each bite into its own little vessel of goodness. It's a clever, naturally wholesome presentation that works just as well for a casual snack as it does for a party spread. Because every ingredient here is a whole, unprocessed fruit or vegetable, there's no need to scan labels or worry about hidden legume-based fillers or flour blends sneaking into the mix. The cucumber rounds get a shallow well scooped out so the guacamole sits perfectly without sliding, which is a small detail that makes a big difference. Serve it immediately after assembling to keep everything fresh, crisp, and at peak deliciousness.

Ingredients

4 servings

For the guacamole

3 ripe avocados
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (from about 1 lime)
¼ tsp fine sea salt, plus more to taste
¼ cup red onion, finely diced
1 jalapeño, seeds removed, finely minced
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 roma tomato, seeds removed, finely diced
¼ tsp ground cumin (optional)

For the veggie cups

2 large bell peppers (any color), cut into 2-inch wide strips or rings
1 large english cucumber, cut into 1-inch thick rounds

Instructions

1
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.
2
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.
