Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mix the finely chopped red onions, jalapeño peppers, half of the chopped cilantro, and sea salt. Using a fork, gently mash these ingredients together.
  2. Scoop out the flesh of the ripe avocados, discarding any bruised parts. Add the avocados to the bowl and mash them to your preferred consistency.
  3. Stir in the remaining chopped cilantro and freshly squeezed lime juice. If using, add the Roma tomato at this stage and mix well.

Choose ripe avocados for the best results. Serve your guacamole chilled for an extra refreshing kick. Feel free to adjust lime juice and salt to taste.
