Creamy, bright, and loaded with fresh flavor, this appetizer turns classic guacamole into a handheld snack that practically disappears at any gathering. Ripe avocados get mashed with fresh lime juice, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and diced Roma tomato for a guac that's vibrant and deeply satisfying. Instead of chips, the dip gets spooned right into crisp bell pepper strips and hollowed cucumber rounds — a clever move that keeps things light and entirely grain-free. Yeast is simply never part of the picture here, since every ingredient is a whole food straight from the produce section, so there's no label-reading stress or ingredient swaps required. The cucumber cups add a cool, refreshing contrast to the bold, citrusy guacamole, while the bell pepper strips bring a little sweetness and crunch. A small spoon or melon baller is all you need to hollow out the cucumber rounds, making assembly genuinely easy. Serve it immediately after filling so everything stays crisp and the guacamole stays that gorgeous shade of green.

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.
