Instructions
- Prepare Avocados: Cut the avocados in half, remove the seeds carefully, then scoop out the creamy pulp into a small mixing bowl.

- Add Flavorings: Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice, chopped onion, olive oil, and salt evenly throughout the mashed avocado for a balanced flavor.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the guacamole for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes

- Adjust salt and lemon juice quantities according to taste preferences.
- Optional: Add chopped cilantro or diced tomatoes for added flavor and texture.
- Keep the avocado pit in the bowl during refrigeration to help prevent browning.
