Spinach artichoke dip is the appetizer that gets demolished at every party, potluck, and game day gathering without exception.

Good guacamole is one of the most satisfying things you can make, and this classic version proves that simple is always best. The foundation is ripe avocados with fresh lime juice stirred in immediately to preserve that vibrant green color and brighten the flavor. Red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and a hint of cumin round it out into something simultaneously creamy, bright, and a little spicy.
