Ingredients
- 3 ripe avocados
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
- 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped seeded jalapeno (see Cook’s Note)
Instructions
- Mash together the avocado, lemon juice, lime juice and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a mixing bowl until creamy. Fold in the cilantro, red onion and jalapeno with a spoon or spatula. Adjust the salt if needed.
