Veggie Dippers

Tortilla chips are not the only guacamole-transportation vehicles that can deliver scoops of fresh, creamy guac into your mouth. Add some crunch and color to the table by swapping tortilla chips for gluten-free dippers like:

• Corn chips
• Cucumber slices
• Baby carrots
• Toasted sweet potato chips

Fruity Guacamole

Guacamole and fruits make a lively pair—maybe because avocados are a fruit as well! There are countless ways to mix and match guacamole with fruit.

Have you ever tried dipping slices of crisp apples into your guacamole instead of chips? If you want to add some fruit to the mix itself, start with pineapple or mango guacamole. For a festive feel, top your guac with raspberries or pomegranate seeds.

Meaty Guac

Embrace your inner carnivore! Experiment with gluten-free BBQ sauces, spice mixes, and cooking methods like grilling or stewing meats in a crockpot to find a texture you’ll love to sink your teeth into. Find a meat that fits your occasion:

• Chicken
• Pulled pork
• Bacon
• Brisket

A formal dinner may call for Guac & Pork Chips with Tequila Braised Pork Belly, while Bacon Gorgonzola Guacamole would hit the spot for a movie night at home.

Sweet-Treat Guac

Got a sweet tooth? Gluten-free guacamole can satisfy your sweet tooth with the right ingredients. Try mixing your favorite sweet sauces into your guac, like these:

• Honey
• Jams and jellies
• Peanut butter
