Ingredients
Veggie Sticks:
- 1 cucumber cut into sticks
- 2 carrots peeled and sliced
- 1 bell pepper any color, sliced
- 2 celery stalks cut into sticks
Guacamole:
- 2 ripe avocados
- ½ small red onion finely chopped
- 1 small tomato deseeded, diced
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 tbsp chopped cilantro
- Salt to taste
- Optional: pinch of chili flakes or cumin
Instructions
- Wash and chop cucumber, carrots, pepper, and celery into easy-to-dip sticks. Arrange them like the snack queen you are.
- Slice avocados, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork like you're mad at your ex.
- Add onion, tomato, lime juice, cilantro, and salt. Mix until combined and creamy but still a little chunky—just like us emotionally.
- Taste the guac. Adjust salt or lime as needed. Go bold or go home.
- Serve fresh with the veggie sticks. Dip, munch, repeat.
- Store leftovers in the fridge, but let's be real—you won't have any.
