Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Guacamole

  • In a medium bowl, mash the avocados using a fork until smooth but slightly chunky.
  • Tip: To keep your guacamole creamy and lump-free, use a potato masher or fork. Avoid over-blending to preserve texture.
  • Add lime juice immediately to prevent browning and infuse zesty flavor.
  • Stir in red onion, tomato, jalapeño (if using), and cilantro.
  • Sprinkle ground cumin (if desired), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.

Step 2: Assemble the Veggie Platter

  • Arrange the cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, broccoli florets, and snap peas on a large serving platter.
  • Place the guacamole in a serving bowl at the center of the platter.
  • Garnish the guacamole with a few cilantro leaves and a sprinkle of diced tomato for a pop of color.
