Creamy, bright, and just a little spicy, this guacamole is the kind of dip that disappears fast at any gathering. Three ripe avocados get mashed with fresh lime juice, jalapeño, red onion, cilantro, and diced Roma tomato for a flavor that's layered and genuinely satisfying. Instead of chips, the guacamole gets spooned into crisp bell pepper strips and hollowed cucumber rounds, turning each bite into a self-contained little vessel that's as fun to eat as it looks on a platter. The cucumber rounds get a shallow well scooped out so the filling sits perfectly without sliding around — a small detail that makes a big difference in presentation. Everything here is whole-food and naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's zero need to scan labels or worry about what's hiding in a store-bought dip. It comes together in just a few simple steps, making it an easy win for parties, meal prep snacking, or a light lunch. Fresh, colorful, and genuinely crowd-pleasing — this one earns a permanent spot in the rotation.

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.
