Wheat Free Paleo Guacamole Veggie Cups
Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this is guacamole elevated into a full snack experience. Instead of reaching for chips or crackers, bell pepper strips and hollowed cucumber rounds do all the scooping — and they bring a satisfying crunch that honestly rivals anything from a bag. Every ingredient here is naturally free of wheat and grains, so there's no label-reading required and no substitutions to stress over. The guacamole itself is built on ripe avocados mashed with lime juice, then folded with red onion, jalapeño, fresh cilantro, and diced Roma tomato for layers of heat, brightness, and texture. A pinch of cumin adds a subtle earthy warmth that ties everything together without overpowering the fresh ingredients. These are perfect for a party platter, an afternoon snack, or a light appetizer that disappears fast — no one will miss the tortilla chips.

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.

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.
