Print Recipe

A quick and visually stunning Halloween appetizer that transforms classic guacamole into a spooky spider web using black sesame seeds. This savory dip is easy to make, vegan-friendly, and perfect for parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems, finely chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced or pressed
  • 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeds and ribs removed, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
  • Tortilla chips for serving

Instructions

  1. Dice the red onion, chop the cilantro, remove seeds from the jalapeño, and mince the garlic. Set aside in a small bowl.
  2. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a shallow, wide serving bowl.
  3. Mash the avocado chunks with a fork until mostly creamy but still retaining some texture.
  4. Add the diced onion, cilantro, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, salt, and cumin to the mashed avocado. Gently fold together to combine.
  5. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top of the guacamole into a flat, even circle.
  6. Sprinkle thin lines of black sesame seeds from the edge of the bowl toward the center in a spiral pattern.
  7. Using a chopstick or small spoon, gently drag through the sesame seeds to create a web-like cross-hatch pattern.
  8. Add a few extra sesame seeds in the center to resemble a spider.
  9. Serve immediately with tortilla chips.

Notes

To prevent browning, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the guacamole. If making ahead, prepare the base up to 24 hours in advance but create the web design right before serving. Ensure avocados are ripe but not mushy for the best texture.
